I had 38 five-star reads over 2025... here's my thoughts

Описание: Hello, book friends!
A very different, and quite vulnerable video for me to post today. This was filmed on Christmas Day, but then I got a year-end cold, so I'm just now catching up. I hope you enjoy hearing my thoughts on my five-star reads, and as always, there's time stamps to help you navigate this longer video!
