I'm going to level with you - the next few blog posts are definitely going to be re-cap type posts... I'm sure that appeals to some of you; which is great, but I'm also aware it's kind of boring so if that's not your jam that's cool! I don't know if you remember but I … Continue reading 2018 Reading re-cap
I'm a big reader! I sometimes go through phases of not reading stuff but it's rare and I always feel awful about it so I made a vow to myself to always be reading... again.
