Closely Observed Literature
I love books, and I can safely assume that you do too. I read as much as possible, and I know how difficult it can be sometimes to choose which book to read next. That's why I've created this little channel, full of book reviews and recommendations, to act if not as a guide then at least as a jumping-off point for your next literary adventure.
