Note: It was Election Week 2020 combined with a few work and personal deadlines, so reading was low. I downloaded a bunch of exciting picture book eBook ARCS, so maybe I will get to those next week? It depends how many holds came in over the last few days.
Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for short reviews of some of these titles!
