I was gonna do a video in April about my favorite contemporaries but I guess I'll just wait now haha
I'm brand new to the group and can't wait to participate :)
I was going to start joining in on the topics, but I do not have a single contemporary book in my entire house lol. I just don't read them. So while i'll be looking forward to everyones videos to get ideas on what I should start reading. unfortunately I wont be joining this month ;)
Long time no post.... But it's officially May here in the UK and after finally defeating the reading slump I present my contemporary recommendations! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEsE8...
