A Bit Of My Week In Reading
Currently Reading: Harlem Shuffle is giving me Deacon King Kong vibes and I am loving it and I haven’t even gotten to the heist part yet; The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer is hitting my sweet spot for laugh out loud romance and it has become my treat read.
Finished: I have been on a great audiobook streak and loved Once Upon a Quinceañera by Monica Gomez-Hira (filled my Jane The Virgin void); Wow, No Thank You by Samantha Irby (Irby is always a guaranteed laugh); All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson (fantastic memoir).
