Book 18/? Of 2025
Everything is Tuberculosis - John Green
This read caused a slight hyper fixation on TB for me and I am positive my coworkers are tired of hearing about it. Solid read to change things up a bit.
Also, I’ve never read 18 books in a single year. This is new territory. #BookSky 📚💙

Little different read for me but as someone who has been in the church for the majority of my life, these last years have been tough and brought out ALOT of doubts and questions. This doesn’t answer everything but it is a decent starting spot. 📚💙
