Hello friends! This week I reached 1,000 reviews on Goodreads, and I celebrated by writing this blog post about my appreciation of books in relation to sexuality, mental health, etc. Thanks to you all for providing such a warm and supportive community to love and talk about books, excited for many more years and reviews on here. <3
