It looks like you are doing great! I have read 2 of your 5 star reads.
You had such a great month Rolé! I loved Happy Place and The True Love Experiment too! Have a great June!
Thanks! You too.
Glad we both enjoyed The True Love Experiment! And we had a few other books in common as well. Hope June turns out to be a good reading month too. Thanks for visiting me earlier!
I love seeing MQ in those 4 star reads! I do wish you loved Grant’s book more. Have you read her before? I love her self-pubbed books even more than the book you read.
So far that’s been my only Pippa Grant book, but I’ll definitely read more from her. It’s not that I didn’t like the book, there were just some details in there that made it less shiny for me. Overall I liked it.
