Good Afternoon,
It’s the start of another week. It’s Monday! What are you Reading is hosted by Kathryn from Book Date, this is a weekly event to share what we’ve read in the past week and what we hope to read, plus whatever else comes to mind.
It has been a while since I have done one of these. I am hoping that I will be able to start posting regularly again. This last year has been insanely difficult, and I am coping daily. I realized I missed posting on this blog and I want to start again.

Come to think of it, that cheeky brat seems to be the source of all of Yuki’s troubles…so why would she want to date him?
