Books I read this week 🍋

November is off to a good start!

I initially started this month trying to catch up on my reading goal. I set out to read 36 books this year and started the month 5 books behind and now look, all caught up 🫶🏾 At this rate I’m going to pass my original reading goal!

Anyways, does anyone else feel like they are not super harsh critics when rating books? 😭 Most books end up being 4 or 5 stars for me and it really takes a lot for me to rate lower than that

Oh and that was my first Abby Jimenez and yeah let me read some more books by her! 🏃🏾‍♀️
