I discussed this near the beginning of…

For the Love of Books 1 or how I am going to highlight a book every month that I read previously. Feel free to join in! #bookbloggers #bookboost

This is a new monthly feature that I am going to do on the blog. It is where I will highlight a previously read book and let you know how I feel about it now that it has been some time since I have read it. Did it sit well over time?

I am ignoring recommendations, I am ignoring ARCs, I am ignoring being told what I am supposed to do as a blogger. In other words, I…
