These are not even rereads! They are only the books that I have received from the publishers or won in a giveaway. I’ve split the books into three categories and my aim is to read a minimum of 30 books over the summer. The Recent Additions: These books are my priority as they have been sent to me over the last couple of months. I’ve been shamefully ignoring the book pile because of exams, but now exams are over, I’m going to have to dive straight in! I am really excited to read all the books in the picture below, my main issue […]
