The End of the Year Book Tag

I found this tag through Priyasha @ Books and Co. If you aren’t following her, head over there now and check out her lovely blog! I thought this would be a fun tag to do for the end of the year. It is always fun to look back over the books you have read in the year.

Monthly Wrap-Up: September and October 2020

Hello everyone! My life was kind of crazy the past two months, and I apologize for being gone for so long.
