Mini Reviews #2
Well…it’s been a longer while than last time, hasn’t it? 😅
I wasn’t expecting to go on a second blog hiatus, but it looks like that’s exactly what happened. I ended up getting really sick, and the recovery time has been lengthy. I’m still not well yet, and at this rate, it’s going to continue to take time until I’m back to where I was before. But I wanted more than anything to return to blogging – I’ve certainly missed talking to my bookish friends here and talking about books. So slowly but surely, I’m returning from unexpected hiatus #2, which also means mini-reviews #2! They’re a few books I’ve read since I was gone. I hope you’ve been able to kick off your new year with some good reads!
