Ah Amnesia, it’s been too long…

October 6, 2016 by Jensicola 11 Comments

First let me address the elephant in the room: I have failed at my bid to read 52 books this year seeing at I have only made it to number three and it is October. Sigh.

For my first book of the year I tore through The Girl on the Train and let me […]
