I've personally never had to experience a limitation to the books I've had access to and am thankful that I've always had the chance to make

Books of the Month (1)

Books of the Month is something new that I'm going to try out on the blog. I've really missed participating in In My Mailbox, which I stopped to curb my book-buying habits, and sharing my books with readers. And I want to start doing that again, but I also want to share the books that I've read and reviewed during the entire month. Variations of these types of posts exist on many blogs so credit
