My first book post of 2019! My first book of the year was a sequel to a book I loved in 2018. I had received it via Net Galley months and months ago, but like a true book lover, I "saved" it. My first book of 2019 was Night of Miracles by Elizabeth Berg. This … Continue reading Book Date

It has been a while since I joined Book Date, Yarn Along and The Caffeinated Reader. Since my last join, I gave up on The Favorite Sister and gave it to my cousin.
