Is it a #Gift if you get it for completing a reading challenge? I received this book in the mail this week & it‘s from #OnceUponABookClub for finishing their 2024 40 Book Challenge. I‘m happy to have been gifted a book I haven‘t read yet & it looks pretty good. 🤗

Thanks to our hosts @Eggs & @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for this month of prompts. I can‘t believe it is February tomorrow! 😬
