Summer Reading Challange
Hello, Tumblr followers, casual watchers, first-timers, and anonymous visitors. I created this blog to share my passions with other academics. As a workaholic master's student, Tumblr is my little oasis of peace.
Since summer vacation just started and I, due to school and work, haven't been able to read as much as I would have liked, I decided to start a summer reading challenge, from July 1 to September 30. The goal is to read as many books as I can. I will occasionally post reviews of the books I will read.
If you want, you can leave recommendations, leave your own opinions or share your own summer challenge and progress. The first version of my list includes 30 titles, I will add more later if something seems interesting to me.
