Every time I come home from my local university library I feel like I’m in an 80s period movie. They stopped in 2016
Did every university library stop buying physical copies of books around 2020?

This novel by @FalcoFed is like @GarthGreenwell’s Small Rain meets Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature. There’s an English translation that came out this year by @jenniferlcroft. Read it! Y gracias a mi librería favorita @DesastreLibros por la lectura perfecta para ir cerrando el 2024
