A post was merged into an existing topic: Spells8 Book Club Reviews Masterlist - Sessions XXVI - L

I don’t have a review for my book because I’m still reading it :laughing: I’m having to carry it through to the next session because life is just busy :heart:

I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it when you finish it! I read that one a few years ago :blush:

I am truly loving it! But as I get older, I find my mind does not focus well on one task anymore and it wanders a million times a day! So, it’s taking me a minute to get through it, but I will get to the finish line! It will not sit in the pile of half read books!!! I cannot wait to read your review, Megan!

I feel that about the books sitting in a pile waiting to be read :sweat_smile: I have so many! I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to read more in the summer when I’m not in classes anymore. Then I’ll have more time to get through the books in my pile – it’s getting out of hand!

Oh, my goodness, so do I! I have books everywhere! I have to stop myself from buying more. But then I see something I want to read and it’s all over!

Same here! Life has been non-stop. Got rid of one sickness and got another on top of everything else.

But what I have read of mine has been wonderful!
