Three Months of Reading
/
I have been so behind on these sort of posts! Honestly it has felt like a very long dry spell with reading but when I started putting this post together I noticed that I was still reading plenty. Maybe I have been feeling this way because I have to struggle to choose a new book every single time. I have hundreds of books on my TBR and I can't find a new book to read. I am embarrassed for me.
