My list this year isn’t as curated as it was last year. Most of these I had laying around or they were given to me or found at a Free Little Library. I would like to stick to my criteria of reading one literary classic (Frankenstein) as well as a book that will help me with my career path (Show Your Work!). Everything else has been a free for all and I am enjoying it!

Check out this little reel I made with mini reviews and progress reports on what I have been reading right now and let me know what you have been reading this summer!

Sincerely Yours,
Okayest Jen
