July TBR

I’m definitely still in my cozy era! Cozy mysteries, cozy fantasies, cute little romances.. not really any high stakes or super fantastical worlds right now I think but if I sneak one of those in it might balance everything out. I’m mostly still just mood reading and picking up whatever piques my interest at the time 🙂
