Romance Bingo!
Happy Tuesday, ladies and gents! I’m just popping in really quickly to let you know that I’ll be hosting a Romance Bingo game on my bookstagram, in February! My goal this year was to read more romance, and I can’t think of a better way to keep myself honest than to have other people play along with me. The bingo card will go live on January 10th, to give you time to gather your chosen reads. They’ll also be prizes at the end for people who participate, so let’s play! My bookstagram is below: https://www.instagram.com/hdbblog/

This year has been a year of learning for me. I’ve learned a lot about who I am, how to love myself for all of that, and that the quote above sums up who I’m becoming. I used to be the person who researched…
