When it comes to graphic novels, I have a tendency to pick up random ones at cons or second-hand ones in bookshops, depending where I am.

They’ve given meContinueContinue reading “Happy Writing – Jenny Alexander [Books]”

But I managed to start the year by reading nine books in one month, so I thought a wrap up would be a good idea! And I know this is fairly late, but hopefullyContinueContinue reading “January 2020 Wrap Up [Books]”
