READING WHILE
MOMMYING

In this post, I chat about banning books, review 19 books/audiobooks, share book pics & talk about Book Twitter drama. Check it out!

Happy Monday, book friends! I got my second shot of the Covid vaccine on Thursday, so on Friday I had a mild fever, aches and pains, and an overall tiredness. Which also meant I had a day to relax, rest, and READ. So, not only am I vaccinated, I also read three books and finished listening to one in one week (reviews below). What a win-win!

All my recent book/short story reviews will be part of the blog in the Review Roundup section, but also available by clicking on the title-links, which will take you to my reviews on GoodReads. Not friends with me on GoodR

"I have to say, the stories I have for you this week are fun, exciting, and uplifting, which we all need in today’s crazy world."

Even in fiction there's bad sex. Original fiction from Oprah Mag. Who is Elena Ferrante? The Goodreaders have spoken. Cover of the week!
