I published my first “Turning the Page…” blog post on January 1st, 2018. I was less than one year into blogging, rediscovering my love for reading, and totally winging it when it came to life itself. It is crazy just how much has changed in these few years. Here we are, ringing in 2023! 2022 was a year to remember in so many ways. We traveled with friends and family - to Colorado, Utah, the Bahamas, Florida, Nashville, and countless other weekend trips. We watched movies and ate good food and …

So without further ado, here is what I read in October 2022. I’M GLAD MY MOM DIED …
What I Read in September
After reading 8 books in 8 days in the Bahamas, I took a little break from reading for a bit. I just needed to binge through my podcasts and rest, and so that’s what I did!
