@Montag Oh! that one is on my TBR list.
Of the many thing to enjoy in life reading is one of them. I read in English and Spanish. It can be "regular" books, Light novels, Webnovels, and Audiobooks. I do get eye strain so I take my time reading. Genres of interest are Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary_Teen_ Young_Adult, Non-fiction, Autobiography, Life, Science, Society, Mental_Health, Technology, and Philosophy/Religion.
