Hello, dear readers! This one’s pretty late, as I spent most of the day either in a medical facility or passed out at home. My illness has gotten so bad that I barely even had the energy to read! Hopefully, some of these books I’m about to discuss will help entice me out of this …

It’s already May! (and yes, you should definitely sing that in a ramen-haired Justin Timberlake voice, lol.)
