    I’ve Been in a Reading Slump… What Did I Actually Read?

    It’s been a while… and that’s because I’ve been in a book slump. Reading has been on the back burner, difficult to have time and space for, and overall just not much had been appealing to me. Having said that, I did get through some books in recent times, despite the slump, so here they…

    I Read Books I Thought I Wouldn’t Like

So, I’m reading books purposely that I think I won’t enjoy to see if (and hope that) I’m wrong about them! Final Touch by Brandilyn and Amberly Collins Why…
