Hi Bookish Friends!
Hooray for May!! It appears I drank too much coffee before filming this video, because I seem to have raced through it lol...sorry for my fast talking here. I have quite a few buddy reads this month and I'm really looking forward to them.
If you have not yet watched my TBR game, please check out the January TBR where I discuss the rules and details of this game.

If you would like to play along with me, you can replicate or try printing out a copy of my board and the cards I am using for it here (I have included a template for the Book cards, but you'll want to set them up to work for your specific needs): [ Ссылка ]
Thank you for watching and stay tuned for my April wrap-up!
