Perks Of Being A Late Night Reader

First I'd like to say sorry that this is so late and that I did not put up a TBR for this month.

Last month I read a lot of books and I am extremely happy. :D In total, I read nine books and I enjoyed most of them. Some were not so good. The first book I read was Chestnuts: A True Story About Being Bullied by Gilbert Ohanian. I gave this a 2.5 stars out of 5 stars. I have a more in depth review and I will leave the link below.

Also I wrote a review for this and I will leave the link below as well. Then I read The Shinning by ...
