"Yesterday, was a lovely Surprising day to see my "Bookmail" had already arrived 💜. A Beautiful hardcover copy of Jason Reynolds' latest novel of his 'Track' series. Thank you, Goodreads for my 7th "Grateful Goodreads" Giveaway Win and I will absolutely write a review upon completion of the entire series. Thank you one again! @SimonKids 🔆
