Colleen and Katherine are back with updated reads!

I finished Score ... 10/10! Another Kennedy Ryan book that is amazing! I also finished Assassin's Blade. Now over halfway done Empire of Storms. I started Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I have already listened to this multiple times but in honor of Pride Month and it having been a while, I wanted to relisten to it. The narrator is Lin-Manuel Miranda, highly recommend! Bring the tissues!

Also, one of my kids asked me to read a book with them so I am back with a kid pick too!

What are you reading?
