Hello Hello! How are you?
Today I’m bringing you a very exciting post! I’ve finally found time to sit down and write this January to August 2022 wrap-up post. It was so long and I hadn’t realised I had read so many books already despite how busy I’ve been this year!
I don’t think I’ll make my Goodreads Reading Goal of 150 books, but if I get to 100 I’ll be happy, and I’ve had some great reads already this year, so let’s get into the wrap-up! I’ve voluntarily kept it shorter than usual, I’ll link to any books I’ve reviewed on the blog already though if you want to read my thoughts on them.
