- I love to read 📚

If you like YA books, give me a follow! 😊

I have one, and it's good at any public library in my state! We also have an awesome interlibrary loan system, so if I want a book my local library doesn't have, I can request the book from any library and it'll be sent to my local library for pick up. 👍🎉
