Crib Notes-The Stacks...Chapter Four

Given that my personal books read list is quite extensive, it’s no surprise that I gravitate towards the new releases, managing the ebb and flow of my TBR with nerdy glee. But my bookish choices of the current day have left many of these gems falling through the cracks of my blog.

Let me dig out some great reads from the stacks for you!

FOLLOW HER HOME – STEPH CHA
