The Goldfinch - Donna Tartt
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt I finally bit the bullet and read it last year. I loved it so much. Can’t believe it took me so long to read it.

I'm reading The Goldfinch now, and so far I enjoy it more than The Secret History.
In the recent and distant past, some of the novels that have hooked me were: East of Eden, The Bee Sting, The GoldFinch, Americanah.
