How is it still 2020, y’all?? This has been the longest year of my life, and my reading isn’t really reflecting that! I’m on track to read less than I did last year – which is fine. I really want to prioritize reading the books that I want to read. I feel like I was on autopilot during Q3, and I’m not 100% thrilled with my reading choices. That said, I read some amazing books and can’t wait to hear what you thought about them, too!
