Want to know what my podcast is all about? Here you are

Spilling the beans on "The Paris Apartment" by Lucy Foley. I heard someone talk about this book and decided to give it a read to see what I thought. This book falls into the genre I really like to read, so I definitely had some thoughts...

I figured I would do a little recap of what I have read so far and what is up next for me throughout the year, including some of the books I am most excited to read. It is always nice to try and plan ahead, even though my TBR usually just sets a good foundation for procrastination...

I finally succumbed to the social pressure and read ACOTAR... while fantasy is not typically the genre I reach for, I decided to jump in and give this series a try.
