My latest #netgalley approval. I can’t wait to read Bone Code by Kathy Reichs. I was a huge fan of the tv show Bones but I never read any of the books it was based on. I have no idea why that is. So when I saw Reich’s latest book on NetGalley, I thought it is a good time to change that. My husband even got me a signed copy of one of her books thinking since I loved the show, I must be reading the books. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m still having fun playing with animated posts. Hope you have been enjoying them. I had some new props come in so I’ll be redesigning my “book photo studio” today. Yay! Such fun 😍
Happy Thursday!
What wonderful books I’m reading this week and what a variety!
