Every summer for the past several years, I’ve been creating a summer reading list for myself of sorts. While my reading life is often entirely dictated by my moods, I find that in the summer, I want my reading life to be especially GOOD — I want thrillers and entertainment and fluff and love stories …
It had always been a dream of mine to join a book club, but I didn’t have a ready opportunity present itself until we moved to our first home back in 2017, which just happened to be in the neighborhood of an established (and very welcoming!) book club. When I found out in 2020 that …
