Tag Time – Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag

Hello book friends! Do guys know how long it’s been since I did a book tag?? Literally so long. In fact, my last book tag was the end of year book tag… posted in 2021. Whoops. So much has changed for me since then, though! Anyway, I saw this little tag over at Novel Lives and I thought it would be fun to participate. The tag was originally created by Roison, whose video you can find here. So without further ado, let’s get into the questions! quarter year crisis quarter year crisis 1.
