Here's my best reads of 2017 🙌🏼

“They had failed to understand that there was no such thing as private life in wartime Germany. No amount of reticence could change the fact that every individual German belonged to the generality of Germans and must share in the general destiny of Germany, even as more and more bombs were falling on the just and unjust alike.”

#currentlyreading “I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say.”
― Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Thrift shops are the best place to find the best books 🙌🏼 #bookhaul #thriftshop #summerreads

Reading this book has been an absolute pleasure! I was reluctant to pick it up for a long time because the blurb made it sound like a depressing story about a grumpy old man - sort of like Disney's Up, which I didn't like - but it turned out to be such a lovely read! This book is laugh out loud funny and a tearjerker at the same time. And of course, you‘ll need to keep a box of tissues handy for that. I highly recommend it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.”
― Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
