In Used before category names. Books, In Review

I could do a standard review for The Cinnamon Bun Bookstore by Laurie Gilmore. I could, but that doesn’t mean I will. This book is a good premise to dive a little into the state of literature in this digital era, where reading has become an aesthetic, publishing nothing more than a marketing contest, and books don’t equal reading quality.

Until a couple of months ago, everything was fine, although I started to notice that my posts have the tendency to get quite big, therefore I thought it was finally time to split the post into two. So by the end of each month, I’ll publish my wrap-up where I also include a haul if I bought any new books, and shortly after, I’ll publish my TBR, where I also talk about the books I’ve discovered the month before and hopefully can get my hand on in the future.
