    Just out of curiosity what was it about Piranesi you didn’t like? I’ve heard it recommended on the books subreddit so many times so I’m curious.

      Uncertain to be honest, it’s been a while. But I remember, I just couldn’t get into the story.

      Perhaps I was not in the right mood or it just wasn’t the kind of book for me. Could be the genre as well. Honestly can’t remember.

      Might retry it a long while later.

      For example, I prefer to read quite the emotional books such as:

      • The Words We Keep
      • The Midnight Library
      • Before The Coffee Gets Cold (currently reading)
