It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (11/25/18)
Apologies for the radio silence all. It’s been a rough last two weeks, and I’ve been trying to dig myself out of a funk that was so deep that I’ve actually barely been reading at all.

My book dragon tendencies keep urging me to look at book sale emails, and it takes all of my willpower to ignore them. *sigh* Being a bookworm is a hard, hard job. My rule lately has been composed of two separate parts: 1. If I don’t…
