start here, end up here. i have the most fun editing book rec post and i can’t be stopped. i've been in a reading slump lately and nothing seems to hold my interest. it might just be a summer thing - i'm not a fan of the season, and everything feels like it takes so much more effort than usual. if you have any good book recommendations to help me get out of this rut, i’d really appreciate it!🧎🏻‍♀️
