I’ve been doing two month long read-a-thons so even though I saw this one around I wasn’t able to join in. I hope you had fun doing this though!

I hope you get all of your books read! I’ve always been curious about Let Me In.

Good post

The Holidays are officially here. As I’m getting older, I’m finding myself reading more holiday themed books than ever before. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a good thriller, but there’s something magical about reading a Christmas story this time of year!
