The Architect's Apprentice by Elif Shafak
5.0
Amazing! Definitely one of Shafak’s best works, she combined reality and fiction so well, the events were so mellow in the beginning but as the story procceeded, I found myself loving the characters and finding out secrets I overlooked and didn’t give much of an attention to the details of them when they were happening earlier.
One cannot easily say they don’t fall in love with architecture when reading this book , with Elif’s immaculate attention to details and love for books and all other good things in life, this work makes me want to go visit Istanbul again and this time see the things I’ve seen before as a tourist with a different perspective and new sets of eyes, this time to study the beauty that I failed to comprehend before.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

A psychological thriller like no other!
This book is about someone driven mad so basically there are many cues and references to addiction, mental abuse and myths as well as psychological disorders such as schizophrenia, paranoia...perhaps even mania described in graphic details in here, and it will seem to drive you mad from the very first page too, I personally believe that the people who left reviews comparing its events to reading a book rather far fetched, warnings should be given if you are uncomfortable with cults, pagan rituals, kidnapping and altered brain states or rather...confusing povs, it actually was nothing like the reviews I read about it but I'm glad to experienced this roller coaster first hand
It was shitty..don't read it, just don't.
