So sorry, for the late update!The theme for April - June will be books set in the past.
It could be set in 2022 or 1822 Just as long as it is not set in the future or the present!
Happy Reading!
I was sorry I missed Middlemarch, but I am joining this one! Just found a copy today! I still have to finish up the book I am currently reading, but I should be able to start this week!
