To my great surprise, June turned out to be a huge reading month for me! I assumed since it was wedding month and I was working like a madwoman to get everything done before we went on our honeymoon, I wouldn’t have any time to read. Audiobooks were my very best friend in June, as many of these were completed while I ran errands, wrote thank you notes, and packed for our trip! So many good ones, and some not so great ones were finished, so let’s take a look! SUCH A FUN AGE BY KILEY REID - 5 …

But here I am sixty-something days later, and I’m …
Quarantine Thoughts
How are you? I wish that I could sit down with you for coffee and just talk.

I wish we could talk about the things that we missed out on because we were indoors, the people we’ve missed so terribly. But more than anything I wish that we could sit down with coffees in hand and nowhere to be, and talk about the wonderful things that …
What I Read in April
April was a huge reading month for me. In the beginning of the month, I was still getting used to the idea of quarantine, feeling down, and reading was my main choice for entertainment as things started to feel “normal”.
