Review: Inferno
Inferno by Dante Alighieri 4 stars – I liked it; it was good A classic of poetry that I’ve been planning to read for a while now.

Review: Villette
Villette, by Charlotte Brontë. 3 stars – I liked this book, but it’s not to my taste This book was given to me by a close friend. It’s been sitting on my bookshelf for the longest time until finally, I’d had enough. I rearranged my shelf and organized all the books I hadn’t read yet…
