for, “I remember you”. After wandering alone in this world for three
long and lonely centuries, Addie has finally found someone who
remembers her.
Will Addie be able to be in someone’s memory for once? Or will the
Faustian bargain take her back into the arms of loneliness once
again? Now that’s something you should read the book to find out.

2. Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart:

Are you a fan of queer love stories? If yes, you are going to fall in love
with this book. And if not, you should read this book at least once.
This is a book that will surely make you the biggest fan of queer love
stories.
A classic by the Booker Prize award winner Douglas Stuart, this book
tells a gut-wrenching story of two young men James and Mungo who
fall deeply in love with each other.
 
Living in Glasgow, Mungo is a Protestant while James a Catholic.
According to society, these two should be deadly enemies of each
other. However, as both start passing more and more time with each
other, love blossoms between them.
As much as this book is a harsh love story of two men, it is also a
depiction of the lives of working-class families and their day-to-day
difficulties. As the plot goes deeper and deeper, Stuart questions the
definition of masculinity and love. 
Feel the love, tears, pain, and anger of James and Mungo in every
word of this book as they try to survive in this world where loving
someone too much is a sin.
