Mehso-so

I finally finished #Byzantium, my first #nonfiction #read of the year?! Wow. It was alright. I felt like I learned quite a bit but I wasn't a fan of the narrator (I don't generally like British accents for narrators, NGL, it's a bit hard to understand sometimes, doesn't flow as smoothly as I'd like). After a while I did get bogged down by names and dates but I would read again, maybe a physical copy tho. 4/5.

My second #nonfiction read! Decided to pick this one up because it reminded me of someone from my university. It's been ok. I didn't expect there to be so much #religion talks. But I also went in blind, not really knowing what #Byzantium was soooo 🧐 interesting so far
