Books I read in 2018


Highlights:

  • Mythos by Stephen Fry. I enjoy rediscovering the greek mythology.
  • One Piece: Drawn to it just by curiosity to see what the fuss was all about, much better than I thought it would be.
  • Then Again by Diane Keaton, sincere and inspiring.




2018 - Goodreads Reading challenge
So I read 48 of 45 books in 2018.

Spring clean - reboot

With the new limitations on Flickr free accounts ( no more than 1K photos ),  I am taking the opportunity to clean out old posts, and hopefully reboot that somehow half dormant blog....
