The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau

THE INCREDIBLE PAINTING OF FELIX CLOUSSEAU is one of Jon Agee’s most beloved titles. The artworks in this book (by the author himself) are well-defined and his bold style is applied in dark and rich colors.

Book Lovers

BOOK LOVERS is the first book I’ve read by Emily Henry and it’s also the first romance novel after almost a decade of hiatus from reading this genre. Did I regret succumbing to reading a (bookish) rom-com this Swedish summer? Not one bit!

THE GAP AND THE GAIN

Today is the day! I’ve been waiting in anticipation for the release of THE GAP AND THE GAIN by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and his co-author Dan Sullivan. And I’ve been waiting for this moment to publish my post.

I’ve read the book twice (yes, twice!) and GAIN so much from it. I’ve satisfied my curiosity and made notes about a lot of questions in my mind as I tackled the book. […]
