Hello everyone! Another month has come to an end, which weirds me out immensely, as I feel like 2021 is flying by extremely fast. Hasn't it just been January? What the hell is happening? 😩 I'm happy to say that June was a relatively good month for both of us as you'll see from our…

Reading Three Personalised Book Recommendations

Hi all, it’s Sabrina!  Back in April, I posted about getting some tailored recommendations from The Storygraph and talked about the ones I was planning to read soon.  I mentioned that it was sort of like a 5-star predictions post, because all the books appealed to my taste and what I was looking for at…
