Right, so now that I can’t just shove any books I want to read into a category, it’s becoming a bit of a challenge to find a book that fit a category and my reading mood at the same time.
I would like to thank the “a book your mom loves” category for reminding me this book had a sequel out recently when I needed a Mother’s Day present.
