Hi friends! Today I’m back with my April wrap-up, and in true Theresa fashion, we’re already halfway through May. Will I ever post a wrap-up on time? Who knows! Stay tuned…😂 As you all can probably guess from my lack of blog posts last month, I didn’t have a great reading month either. I ended up only reading two books. I realize that’s still two books to celebrate, but I was hoping… Read More

Hello! Today I’m back with another extremely late wrap-up. Yup, that’s not a typo, it may be nearly May, but I’m finally sharing my March wrap-up. 🙈 For the past few months, I feel like I’ve been in this weird reading and blogging slump, where I want to read and blog and then I just do other things instead. I’m ready to push through that, though, so hopefully the rest of the… Read More
