Monthly Wrap-Up: July 2020

These are all books that I gave 5 stars to, but that have less than 2000 ratings on Goodreads. I thought it would be fun to talk about some of these books, and hopefully get them some more love, which they all deserve! Continue reading “Books I Love That Have Under 2000 Ratings on Goodreads”

So, I thought, “why not today?!” Here is my list of books that I don’t talk about enough and that I think deserve more attention! Continue reading “Books That Deserve More Attention”
