February 2023 Books Vs Moods

Since I took January off, I did not have an end-of-the-month post. This month I have managed to consistently blog (yay!), and these are my reviews distributed by the mood in which the book would be best appreciated in. The covers lead back to the full reviews, In case you missed them when they were…

The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin

I saw this colourful book on my library shelf and thought I could give it a shot. I remembered faintly seeing reviews for this book on the blogosphere but did not recollect the actual details.Lenni lives in the hospital's terminal ward.
