Six in Six 2020

Jo at The Book Jotter hosts Six in Six 2020, a yearly meme that helps us reflect back on our mid-year reading. The idea is to choose six categories from the list provided and list six books you’ve read that fit in those categories. Since I just started blogging again about a month ago, I don’t have many reviews I can link to; most of these links will go to Malaprop’s, the local bookstore I’m affiliated with.
