OMG yoinking and saving immediately!! Strawberry, your brain is so wrinkly!!
Does anyone want to do a casual group buddy read for the month of July!
Thank you đ„ș a group buddy read would be so fun!
I know! I'm so excited to read this whole list one day!
I'm deciding between 3 books right now: 1. The Imposter and Other Stories 2. The Inheritance of OrquĂdea Divina 3. Pedro PĂĄramo
Who wants to join me?!
I think The Inheritance of the Orquidea Divina would be fun since itâs contemporary and an easier way to introduce people to the genre!
If anyone wants to join, please reply to this comment. đ„°
So far, @h3xgrls and @notlizlemon have joined!
Sounds good, I just borrowed the book from the library đ«Ą
This list is a work in progress and I will be adding books over the course of the next few days. đ
