Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing Everything is Just Beginning by Erin Bartels. It releases January 17, 2023.

December Reading Wrap-up

As I pause to reflect on the month of December, I am thankful I found more time to read than I did in November. I don't know what my reading life will look like in the new year since I am going to be getting a part-time job, but I hope to still have a decent amount of time for reading and blogging!

I finished 17 books in December and DNF 2. Click on the cover of the book if you want to read my review.
