Library Checkouts

At the start of 2025, I made myself a goal to borrow more books from my local library this year instead of buying too many books that I could end up not liking.

🐇 The White Hare by: Jane Johnson

👻 The Haunting in the Artic by C.J. Cooke

🛍️ White Noise by: Don Delillo

🔴 Red Harvest by: Michael Cherkas
