Yes!! I can't wait for you to finish it. It's so good. It's one of my favorite horror books, if not my top pick in the genre.

I currently have Madam by Phoebe Wynne, The Secret of Snow by Viola Shipman, and Once Upon A Wardrobe by Patti Callahan.

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?

There's a readathon happening this weekend that my friend Zoe is hosting on Instagram/YouTube. It's called the Merry & Bright readathon. So, I'm planning on reading a bunch this weekend to participate and support Zoe. I'm going to be focusing on finishing The City Baker's Guide to Country Living. I also plan on reading The Holiday Swap and In A Holidaze. There's some other books that I want to get to for the readathon but I don't think I will get finished with all of these this weekend.

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great week! What does everyone plan on reading this weekend?

With the year coming to a close and a new one quickly approaching, it's a good idea to remove books from your TBR that you're no longer wanting to read.

I don't think that I will get much reading done this weekend. But after this weekend, I should be able to get lots of reading in, thankfully.
