Although I’m still on hiatus, it’s simply impossible for me not to share my thoughts on the books I read apparently haha so to compromise here I am offering a recap with this post of one-line reviews for some of the books I’ve read/finished so far this summer.

Follow me on Goodreads if you’d like to keep up with all of the books I read, reviewed or not!

I’ve included three recipes, all from books! Keep scrolling to find the recipes and also a bit about the books they’re found in.
