~ Angela ~ Leave a comment

Merry Christmas everyone! This year, as you may know, I was supposed to be on my continued hiatus, but I can’t seem to resist sharing my thoughts on the books I read so here I am, emerging once again from hibernation to recap some of the books I’ve read this fall/early winter. Anyhow, this list features brief, one-line reviews so if you weren’t a fan of my usual sprawling review style then this is the complete opposite.

Any book recommendations for me to indulge in over winter?

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

~ Angela ~ Leave a comment

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. It’s short and gets to the point so if you haven’t been a fan of my usual sprawling review style then this is the complete opposite. If you do prefer my lengthier posts then you’ll be excited to know that a few books not on this list will have their reviews shared one a day for the next few days with a more in-depth spotlight.
