0:30.1

free time I would just sleep but this summer I got back into reading and I think I've read

0:38.7

18 or 19 books okay and I'm gonna be sharing my five-star reads of the summer, and I'm not someone who's very pikey about books.

0:49.0

2:19.1

the Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, and it's about vampires, okay?

2:25.0

And it's, it's so good.
