Review of 'Testaments' on 'Goodreads'

I loveeeeddd this book! I liked handmaid's tale when I read it, but was infuriated by the ending... Or the lack thereof.

Review of 'The illustrated herbiary' on 'Goodreads'

Not at all what I expected this gorgeous book to be, but I like it.

Did I mention this book is beautiful?
