Who’s up for reading some books this month? Anyone? Just me? Here’s my TBR for February. These are the ones I know for sure I’ll read. The first two are books my local book clubs are reading, so those are givens. The others are ones I’ve had my eye on for a while now, so […]

We’re already a week into October and I’m running so behind! September was not as productive reading-wise as I had hoped or anticipated, and so far, October has been just trying to play catch-up.
