5 Great Gothic Novels to Read this Fall
If there’s one literary genre that I associate with autumn, it’s definitely gothic for me. Gothic novels are the perfect company when curling up on the couch with a tea on a rainy day.

The Best Audio Books on Spotify (in my opinion)
Those of you who are following my reading adventures on Instagram may already have noticed that lately I’ve really been into audio books.

Small Things that helped my Mental Health (that might help you too)
