Once again, I had to hit the breaks on my reading as real life took over. I got to cheer on my girl in her first high school volleyball post-season run! They made it all the way to the State Championship match...and unfortunately, did not win. But taking 2nd place out of 60+ teams, experiencing … Continue reading November Wrap Up // 2022

I know it's a big book, but you become so immersed in the story and characters that it flys … Continue reading Q2 Favorites // 2022

Oof...August was a rough month. I think it's mostly a preview of the school year ahead of me; I am the class sponsor for my son's class and we are in charge of concessions for all the home sports games. It's consumed my life in so many ways and mostly takes up all the free … Continue reading August Wrap Up // 2022

Halfway through 2022 already?!? How? This year is flying by...and I'm so busy in my personal life, I can see it in my reading.
