September Wrap Up

For the month of September I mostly stuck with New Adult Contemporary novels. I am very proud of myself because I read 13 books for the month.        .                           I really enjoyed the books that I read for September and hopefully I can do the same with the books for October.

She basically can't leave the house for anything because it could be fatal to her. Her Mother is the only constant in her life after he...
