Hello travelers, If any of you are avid Booktube fans like I am, I'm sure you've noticed this tag making the rounds right now. Some people did this back in June, others are only now getting theirs up. To be honest, it doesn't feel like the seventh month of the year.

These included: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury for my Decades Read challenge Review: I enjoyed this.
