What Human Food Can Your Dog Have?

 

Not to lie I’m still living in Gozo, so I’m not in the best mental state, but it got better since my best friend did visit me. My endocrinologist did call me and gave me some news. News that I’m not ready to share with the internet yet. I can’t believe that I reached 900 followers in just one month since last month I reached 800 followers which is mind-blowing and I’m so thankful for you guys.

I read 66 books this month, most of which LGBT+ or written by black authors or characters with a disability. Some of my favourites were Watch Us Rise by Renée Watson, Ellen Hagan, The Silence Between Us by Alison Gervais and Run by Kody Keplinger. I have a question if I wrote another poetry book would you buy it?

Since, as you guy know, I’ll take part in read-a-thin, which is a month-long readathon and the challenge I gave myself this month is to read as many books from my kindle as I can. Maybe I can complete my yearly Goodreads challenge of 365 books so I can upgrade it to 400 books.Plus, next month is another poetry month for me. I hope you guys enjoy it.

For the reading rush, I read 18 books over 5414 pages, and I earned 12 badges. Here is the list of books I read:
