My Birthday Book Haul A Journey Through Books 2018-04-19 | What goodies did I get this year?I do try to buy lighter reads with birthday money. Most people who gift me books (and care) seem to prefer me having a happy, enjoyable read, and not a 'dig my heart out with a wooden spoon' depressing yet valuable read. I save those for my own money.
