After reading 9 books last month, I kept up the pace with 8 more in February. There's nothing like a global pandemic that makes you want to escape from real life! Most of that escape was with the Bridgertons as I finished the series and Julia Quinn did not disappoint. There is no doubt that I ... READ MORE »

It's a new year and the book tallies have been reset. I always try to aim for 52 books in a year though I've only managed it twice since having kids. Let's see if I can make it three years in a row!
