We made it to September. I know I'm on a hiatus, but I said in a previous post (which, you can access below) that I would still be posting about what I'm reading. This way you and everyone else know that I'm still reading regardless I'm not posting any reviews (for now). What have I… Continue reading Reading Check-In: September 2, 2023

Bookish Wishes (2023)
I'm piggybacking this week's post based on what Leah, Birdie, Peat Long, and One Book More shared on their blogs. Remember, these are books I'm hoping to purchase (or, to obtain) in the near future.
