Reading Wish List

I’ve been collecting books for a few years now and I keep adding some more every time I encounter titles that tickles my curiosity. So after a lot of failed attempts doing a yearly Book Challenge, I finally had a good start last 2018. Now, this is the part where I’m gonna share the titles that I wish to read and finish.
