How is it that another
month come and gone? I don't know about you, but this year seems to be flying by! Once again we had another fantastic month of new books and even with that, I was able to sneak in a few of my own plus 1 backlist book. And I participated in quite a few buddy reads / book club discussions again...I really am enjoying these and look forward to them joining some each month.
