Reading Review – July 2022
Whew, what a month! I finally have a fully functioning kitchen again, and boy am I on cloud nine!!! This means my reading life took a back seat. My body was exhausted and my brain was in a fog for most of the month. I think I started and stopped three different books, but my…
