Thank you!! I'm not even really sure how I managed it! But I'm having one of the best reading years I can remember in terms of quality so...I'm not mad about it. :)

Brave (bravereads) | 112 comments 55. Lady of the Glen by Jennifer Roberson

Unhauled. I can't handle when non-Scottish authors write "Scottish dialect" for their Scottish characters. As the youths would say, "So cringe."

Brave (bravereads) | 112 comments 75. I've Got Your Number by Dian Curtis Regan

re-read one of my favorite books from 5th/6th grade 🤣 it was published in 1986, and I would've read it more than a decade later. It's soooo dated, but also hilarious. I had a great time!


message 36: by Brave (new)

Brave (bravereads) | 112 comments 76. The Earl of Highmott Hall A Regency Cinderella by Nina Clare
