What’s on our Good-Reads List (and could also be on yours)
Amidst the piles of course literature and research obligations, reading a good book just for fun might not always feel right. However, we believe that it can be a great way of zooming out and taking a break from daily todos.
By sharing our EDIT Good-Reads List with you today we hope to inspire your next pick after the exam week. Picture it like this: No deadlines, no critical analyses, just the sheer joy of getting lost in a tale.
And if you are not the reading type of person, keep in mind there are lots of audiobook platforms out there allowing you to do the dishes or go on a walk while listening to these amazing books:
