#FierceFebDay 15: Simone De Beauvoir has always been perceived as some kind of a #RebelGirl. The book on the left can also serve as #Memoir for #ReadingResolutions.
Day two of #FeistyFeb, not going to lie, this was tough as there aren't too many #shadows in my shelves! These are all great picks though!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
