Books Read in November 2023!

Hi Readers! Read another short book. But did not like this one at all. It had perhaps only two redeeming qualities, but other than that, a complete waste of time. I feel really sad when a book has a solid foundation and reading the blurb gets you excited but...

Hi Readers! It has been a while since I shared a review, hasn’t it? I was just more focused on reading and less on writing. So it’s completely my fault that I have three reviews to write now! But, here we are. Obviously, I thought it would be better...
