BOOKS I READ DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY
it’s the month of love so naturally, romance books were the go to this month. I’m not huge on romance but I have a guilty pleasure of cheesy reads when I am! “Good Girl Comllex” was a wayyyy more fun read than “Love in the Time of Serial Killers” (kind of a snoozefest but still interesting)
