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. In this celebrated work Wilde forged a devastating portrait of the effects of evil and debauchery on a young aesthete in late-19th-century England.

I recently got into Euphoria and would recommend it! The second season finale just came out the other day so it's definitely a good time to start watching it. Check trigger warnings and know that it is very very graphic.

I've also gotten into Merli. Sapere Aude. on Netflix, which is a Spanish drama that is actually quite addicting.


Overall, this month was the biggest success in terms of books finished but I did read a lot more thought-provoking and interesting books than I usually do, so I'm considering that a win in my book. In other words, I turned eighteen this month and I'm now officially an adult! Hopefully by the end of next month, I'll know where I'm going to college (wow!) and can read more books!

Goodbye, February! Hello, March!
