Friends! I'm here today to share the reading I've done in the last two weeks because I took last week off from blogging. Maybe it's because I've been feeling a bit stressed and overwhelmed, but I didn't really enjoy anything that I read. I still wanted to post about them to stay consistent and up-to-date...
