Last Month’s Book Haul: youtu.be/k7jN9YoGMVw
PLEASE NOTE: For the sake of timing, I have removed any books purchased for my Pulitzer Project, books that were gifted to me, library builders (cases where I purchased a book to complete an author collection, etc.), and books I had already read and purchased to have a copy in my library. I am only including books that I purchased for myself with the intention (or hope) of reading it sometime soon.
