Sahar's Blog Header Monthly Book Review Round-Up

It was a bit of a slow reading month, disappointingly enough.  We got sick so many times that I found myself running after all the essentials that I had to do.  If you are reading this in December 2022, I hope that the tripledemic hasn’t affected you and that if it has affected you or… Read More Book Review Round-Up: November 2022

Sahar's Blog Header Monthly Book Review Round-Up

Review of ‘I’m Glad My Mom Died’, by Jeanette McCurdy When I first heard of the title of this book, knowing nothing of Jeanette McCurdy, I wondered if it was a little clickbait-y, quite honestly.
