Hello, reader!

Today on the blog, I’m helping the Book Bloggers’ Novel of the Year Award (BBNYA) spotlight all the books that made it to the semi-finals! There were so many incredible books entered this year, so it’s my pleasure to feature the ones that may not have made it to the finals, but were still worthy of note!
