Bookshelf
My friend Rodrigo gave me a book in 2016 when I had just moved to Canada. I did not know if I was going to be able to read it. 1. Because I had just started to learn English seriously in 2014, and 2. because I did not grow up reading and I did not see books as friends at the time.
Things have changed a lot in 10 years, and I have to say that I'm who I am today thanks to the books I have read in the past.
Below are all the books I can remember reading to completion:
