Book Reviews Masterlist

Happy new year, book friends! 🥳 Not quite sure what to start reading for 2024? I've compiled my book reviews just for you!

This list will be updated continuously and is arranged alphabetically by the genres I usually read, then by title (via the first book in the event of a series, as I can't add another layer to the lists).

Happy reading! 📚
