• July 2019 Wrap-Up

    So… I read three books in July. Is it a slump? Maybe? I don’t know. All I know is that’s a pretty shitty reading month, even for someone reading for quality over quantity. Okay, maybe it’s not so bad. Two of the books I read this month I gave five stars. But you know what’s…
