So, as you can tell, I have taken a little break from making any posts recently. But with the seasons changing outside and the fall weather creeping in, why not make a comeback by talking about one of my favorite things – getting a new book every month!
I have loved being a member of Book of the Month and Aardvark Book Club over the last few years, as I have rediscovered a love for reading and get the satisfaction of getting two new books every month. I am not a huge book-buying person, so opening up these beautiful boxes every month is the perfect thing to scratch that itch instead of spending way too much money at Barnes and Noble (which I do every now and then anyway).
Let’s take a look at this month’s selections!
