hi yves! ᵕ̈
you’re honestly so cool, i hope you enjoy your time, study / job if you’re having one rn (if i noticed it right you’re getting masters), and i just wanted to express how happy your fics make me so thank you so much for writing and having such a captivating voice of an author. i also saw u recommending books !! so a lil question — what would u recommend rn as your top five or top ten read books u would convince someone to read? 🤲🏻

hello anon!! thank you so much for your super kind message! i actually finished up my masters last year and graduated in january but it was such a gift to further my education. now i’m working but it’s a job where i’m still learning a lot so i’m happy.

thanks so much for your kindness about my writing too! i’m so happy you like my work!!

as far as books go, i’ve read so much and am always trying to read more so it’s hard to recommend top ten, but here are some in no particular order. keep in mind it’s not an exhaustive list, i’m definitely leaving some out, but i tried to choose many genres
