    I enjoyed The Animals at Lockwood Manor - some lovely characters there and slightly creepy setting! All those animals too! Hope you enjoy it when you get to it.
    This is my TTT of the books I am currently thinking of getting to this summer.

      I've read a lot about the Lizzie Borden case and watched a few documentaries, which made me interested in this book. :-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.
