Book Review | Waxing On

On January 14, 2023January 13, 2023 By Jenny ALeave a comment

Top 10 Books I Read in 2020

On December 31, 2020December 31, 2020 By Jenny A2 Comments

Honestly, good riddance, 2020. Despite this year being utterly insane and pretty much terrible for so many reasons, I managed to read quite a bit.
