The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde - UPDATED REVIEW

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde  Genre : Classics Blurb (on back of book) : Oscar Wilde’s only novel is the dreamlike story of a young man who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty.

MUSIC/MOVIES/TV


I've recently been addicted to Duran Duran (I know, it's old)!
I also love The Weeknd's new album Dawn FM

Recommend music, please! I haven't found anything new in a long time!

I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls and absolutely loving it! I also plan to start watching Euphoria but I say this all the time and it never happens. I've been starting to get into The Handmaid's Tale after finishing the book as well.


I read a grand total of ten books this month, which is a lot more than my monthly average last year, so I'm pretty hopeful for this year! Hopefully, I can hit my original goal of 100 books!

Goodbye, January!
Hello, February!

Speaking of February, I become a full-grown adult in two weeks!!
