Happy Wednesday, book friends! It’s been a scattered week so far, and I’ve had trouble really clicking into focus mode during the workday. Not sure why, but probably something to do with the cool & sunny weather, which makes me want to lie outside with a book, not work at my desk.

I’ve been back into a pretty good groove with reading the last week or so, which feels really nice — especially since my NetGalley shelf is full and my TBR cart is even fuller. Let’s dig into this week’s reading updates.

Recent Reads

I finished Love You, Mean It* by Jilly Gagnon early this week. While I was a bit disappointed that the “dueling delis” tagline was a bit of a lie, I still very much enjoyed this one. The reviews on Goodreads are pretty mixed, and I was surprised how many people struggled with it. To each their own, I suppose. My full review went up earlier this week, if you’re interested.
