📚 Still Need to Read 🤷🏼

Since I’ve been judging for SPFBO this year (which has been 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜), much of my pleasure reading has been put off until after the comp finishes.

This shows all the books I wanna jump into. Can someone rewire my brain to make me a speed reader?

Automatic Noodle by @Annaleen

I loved everything about this book, from its cozy vibes to its empathetic approach to character development, to even its very relevant themes and world-building.
