February Mini Reviews (ARCs)

Good thing they’re mini because there’s a lot of them.  This statement should also apply to things like M&Ms.  And marshmallows.  This month it’s about mini – reviews – almost a dozen of them!  From novellas (my current fave!) to contemporary romance (always a fave) and historical fiction this past month has been just jam-packed
