December 2024 Reads

I read these 4 in the month of December!

- 5 ⭐️ I Used To Be Fun. This is a “self-help” book for mom who have lost themselves to motherhood and just need someone to understand how they feel.

- 3 ⭐️ Mistletoe Mystery, short mystery novella, was perfect to finish up my month and holiday. Story was average, quick easy read.

- 3 ⭐️ You Shouldn’t Have Come Here. I mean….. was it good? Was it bad? Idk. It was predictable.

- 4 ⭐️ A Love Letter to Whiskey. A cute romance of lovers, but it’s always the wrong timing.
