I know, I know. I’ve been gone forever. But I think I’m ready to come back, albeit it a little bit at a time. I have a review in draft right now, I’ve actually finished another book this month, AND I have the #bookstagram bug again. So, yeah. I think my spark is making its way back into my heart. I still have school, and the homework that comes along with it, but I’m going to try my best to at least get some rambling content and a few reviews a month up here.

I know I disappeared from here last year, and that our blog has slowed down a lot, but I was just listening to what I needed at the time. I can’t promise I’ll be back full force this…

Checking In
Hi friends! Did you miss me? I know I’ve been MIA, and honestly that’s completely on purpose. I had to give in to the fact that Grad school was a lot more than I expected and that, on top of work and being a normal human, it was too much. I needed a break and, unfortunately, this is what had to go. I’ll confess to you: I haven’t read a book in over 2 months. Yup. I’ve been immersed in music, listening to podcasts, and watching entirely too many hours of YouTube videos. Essentially, I’ve been trying to give my…
