May 3, 2023Seeing Book Lovers as a five star read makes me so excited to read it. I really can’t wait to get to it. My favorite of last month was Just the Nicest Couple. That was such a good thriller. Also, you got a lot of awesome looking review copies. I just added Whalefall to my TBR. It sounds so creepy. I’m here for it.
