weekend reading list no. 4 | 20.7.19

Hello!

First off, my apologies for the late post! I had work early this morning and all day yesterday I was running around doing errands, so I never got around to putting together this weeks reading list.

I hope everyone's enjoying the warm weather and staying hydrated! We're going to keep this weekend's readings short and sweet.
