In My Mailbox – First ever vlog & a GIVEAWAY!
Yup, you win my friends. I did a vlog! I debated, I hemmed, I hawed, then I told myself to stop being ridiculous and just do it already. I’m kind of sick, so I hope I don’t look ridiculous. I also apologize for the plethora of obnoxious things I may or may not do :). This is the first take. It’s a bit gritty because, unlike all you cool people, I don’t have a camera on my computer. So this is taken on my small video camera. It’s 100%, raw, uncut me. You love me right? Books Mentioned For Review:…

Random Books: The Rain Edition
Do you ever just randomly type a word into Goodreads? I do, especially when I’m bored, awake away too early, or just looking for something new to read! Today I thought it would be fun (since it’s 6:45 and I’m awake for some reason) to post some books that popped up when I typed in “rain” and my thoughts. Are you prepared for some randomness? Away we go! Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively, and by listening…
