Iām Summer and I'm here to spread my bookish wisdom with fellow book lovers. I read, review, and share... and try to make it fun in the process! I receive ARC copies of some amazing books, sometimes from well known authors and sometimes from up and coming authors that deserve their moment in the spotlight! In the short time I've been on Tumblr I have come across so many amazing artists and bloggers that I otherwise wouldn't have known existed. It's so awesome seeing how many people out there share a love of books like I do (which basically translates to a book obsession). If I'm successful here and manage to get a good number of followers I'd also like to do some book giveaways.. and I've got some other things planned as well... SO, lets hope for the best and in the meantime read, read, read!š 2018 Reading Challenge Summer has read 43 books toward her goal of 100 books. hide 43 of 100 (43%) view books

Letās bring out the stunningā¦

Add a previous sexual assaultā¦
