Monthly Wrap Up – April 2021
You know that saying “If your friend jumps off a bridge, that doesn’t mean you should do it, too?” Yeah, I’m not advocating for bridge jumping, but all my bookish friends like to do monthly wrap ups of all the books they’ve read the previous month, and I have yet to do one here at Bliss, Books & Jewels. No time like the present, eh?
