Finally got through my first book in this challenge.

I read Big Mushy Happy Lump today. It was a book that I can definitely relate to.

I read The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Come and Get It! Simple, Scrumptious Recipes for Crazy Busy Lives today. There were some delicious looking recipes in that I might want to try to make one day.

I finished We're All Wonders recently. I like how they made the message of Wonder into this as well.

I finished reading The Sun and her flowers by Rupi Kaur today.

Two down with The Hate You Give

I finished reading Without Merit today.

Into the water- didn't hold my attention. Dragged.

Finished The Radium Girls 2 weeks ago. Great insight to the price women paid- ww1. Pretty mortified and really angry. Brought Alot of feelings up about this time frame. I don't believe I've been this angry with a book about the contents of it ever.

I thought this seemed like an interesting book, I may need to rethink how far down my TBR it is.

I thought the same thing!
I was almost hoping someone else would drown just so something would happen.

I finished reading Astrophysics for People in a Hurry today. It took me almost 2 months to read this book because I just could not get into it.

I finished reading Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them: The Original Screenplay today.
