I Thought I Wouldn’t Like These Books 🥺
You know that feeling when you pick up a book, read the blurb, and think, “I’m probably not going to like this very much?” But you see everyone reading it and decide to give it a try (even if it sits on your shelf for a while before you read it)… and then it ends up being your favorite book?! 😂
