Before we Disappear is a lovely book. I have read the last half of the book within a single day, I couldn't let it go. There are amazing plot twists too! I really recommend reading Before we Disappear.

And yet perchance it may be better so, For Tyranny is an incestuous Queen, Murder her brother is her bedfellow, And the Plague chambers with her: in obscene And bloody paths her treacherous feet are set; Better the empty desert and a soul inviolate!

Luckily, Ruth had fared better with the butterfly, whose name was Jessamy Valentine.

I have been reading a tale a day on each school day recently. There are some good tales.
It is always awesome to have my teacher for English come to me with a book. I already passed my English exams, but I continue to like reading English literature. 😃
I want to have finished reading the complete works of Shakespeare before the end of this year.
