"Soooo... At the start of the year I wanted to do something different for my hobby of reading. I joined the disney challenge on storygraph and for the "rotten apple" category Im reading the lowest rated book on my tbr. 😬

I don't want to yet, but I am so eager to read why it is so low rated." — Jun 09, 2026 08:17PM
