Reviews and Comments
Hello, I am experimenting with running a micro bookwyrm instance, to journal the books that I read.
I live in France near Paris, and work as an IT guy for IPCC. I read rather slowly, mostly in French, essays and novels, sometimes poetry or comics. I have this setup where I read french books and review them here in English.
