What a year this has been. It wasn’t as bad as 2020 but it was still bad. But there was some good. My sister had a baby in February, my family took a long overdue vacation, we gained two cats (one special needs), and I decided to start blogging again.
The last part is why I am writing this post. Let’s dive into what I have read this year (and it will be long, so pull up a chair). Here goes nothing!!
As always, please let me know if you have read any of these books!!
