Reading Round Up: Third Quarter 2020
I’m not going to lie. This quarter has been a bit of a reading challenge to me. I had a bit of travel in there (to my sister’s house, where my reading kept the dog awake at night), so I definitely did not read as much as I wanted to. Add in there a bit of a reading slump, and it has been meh.

A Golden Fury by Samantha Cahoe
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟
This looks like I have been super hard on books. I just haven’t really read anything that has blown me away this year. I know of a couple of books on my shelves that have been highly praised. However, I know that, once I read them, I won’t be able to read them for the first time again. Is that crazy?
