3.2 Good Vibes Only: 3 Positive Book Reviews
Welcome back to The Community Library!
It’s been a rough week for Melbourne (where I live), so this week, I’ve been doing things that make me happy. I’ve been baking, knitting, and watching lots of Masterchef.

Byatt, and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I hope you enjoy!
