Back in February, I decided to stop doing book reviews because no one seemed to care. But I miss my book posts. Thankfully I haven’t read much in the past few months. According to Goodreads, I am four books behind on my annual goal! Book links are Amazon Associate Links. I may receive a commission…

January in Cafe Noir
