2019 Reading Challenge Reviews: Books 40 & 41

Welcome new readers and welcome back continuing readers! This year, I've been participating in the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge; you can find out more info in my Overview post or on the Pop Sugar Website. Here are my book reviews for my 40th and 41st book of 2019: Book 40: Babe: The Gallant Pig  by Dick King-Smith I gave this book 3/5 stars on Goodreads.  The prompt I chose for this was "A book you see someone reading on tv or in a movie."

Book 32: There's Something About Sweetie  by Sandhya Menon I gave this book 4/5 stars on Goodreads, but it could easily have gotten 4.5. The prompt I chose for this was "A book with Salty, Sweet, Bitter, or Spicy in t...
