This is how my #reading year begins. With a Joyce Carol Oates book that has been languishing in my shelf for about ten years. This month will be dedicated to books I’ve had on my bookshelf since high school/undergrad, but for one reason or another just haven’t gotten around to. Naturally, I start with the sad family drama. #2025reads #2025ready #joycecaroloates #wewerethemulvaneys #books #90sbooks #novel #familydrama #bookbacklog
