Confessions of a Literary Addict

This month was pretty good! Not GREAT, but I’ll take anything at this point!

I’m still 11 books behind on Goodreads, but we’re going to willfully ignore that little fact in favor of the 18 books I read in July instead. Don’t ask me how that math works. I set myself up for hell and I am still ready to broil in it.

(Listen. I’ll catch up with novellas. Probably. I’ll figure it out!)
