It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (4/8/19)
Happy Monday, my little readers! I’m hoping you had as lovely of a weekend as I did! I didn’t get much reading done, but honestly it was kind of nice to take a break.

Nine years ago, I started my blog under the name “A Fanatic’s Book Blog”. I went with one of…
