Read in 2023: Two Magical Realism books
I try to read all genres of books but I do have my preferences. I enjoy nonfiction, summery beach books, some fantasy, some romance, scant YA. Not deep fantasy, not murder/torture, not dystopian. But a genre that’s caught my eye…
Read: Bridgerton Series #1 and #2

Whoa-ho! Look at me with my fat FIVE books this month. I even had to redo the layout of my SUYB title image! My secret? I go outside and leave my phone inside. Or I read inside and leave my…
