WWW Wednesday: 23rd June, 2021

WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Taking on a World of Words. Anyone can take part and it is a great way of sharing what you have just finished reading, what you are currently reading and what is next on the TBR.

It’s been a busy week but I’ve finished 2 books. I’m now at 63/100 on my Goodreads Challenge.
