Hey, all! My blog has had to take a back seat recently, but my reading has not! I’m currently at 171 books read for the year, and I’m expecting to finish the year around 200-250! I sadly can not review most of them yet due to my committee work (I cannot review a good chunk of graphic novels currently, which is mostly what I’ve been reading). However, I’m reading / getting ready to read some novels and picture books that I can review!
Below will be a look at: books out in August, books on my TBR, & a list of upcoming reviews.
