Down the TBR Hole 4/4/19

 

So this seems to be the only consistent content I can come up with/ commit to on this blog, which was NOT the plan. But my TBR list is getting shorter and shorter so that’s definitely a win! When I started this series I had ___ books on my GoodReads want to read list. Now I'm down to with several changes.

Without further ado, here are this week's TBR Reviews.

Delete It: Most of these are really toxic books about “Biblical Womanhood” so the general rationale is thank God for growth, because 20 year old me was ON ONE. Others are very similar to other books I’ve read, or just plain don’t jive with who I am anymore.
