Hello Booktube! It was a heartbreaking week on many levels. I keep reading and making these videos as a way to fight the darkness that hurts my tiny heart. I hope you enjoy hearing about my first e-reading experience and some holiday books I'm enjoying. I'd love to hear from you in the Comments section (what are you reading this weekend?), but if you don't feel comfortable leaving a comment, you can leave an emoji or give this video a thumbs up. I appreciate it!
