A review by jpaulthunders77
Twice Shy by Sarah Hogle
4.0
Hi, Goodreads! This month has been so special to me because it's my birth month, and as a newbie on this app (relatively, yes. I became active last June 2020), I have decided to dedicate the whole month of May to a reading rush where I would read BOOKS FROM DIFFERENT GENRES. This would be my devotional act for as long as I live. May is my month of ultimate diverse reads!
I put this status update on this review because of character limitation on the General Update feature, hehe. Anyways, here are the 17 books I've read for the month of May:
