Welcome back! First of all, can we just agree that April was like, 2 days?!  The beginning of April was a little slow for me reading and blogging-wise, but things really started to pick up for me the second half of the month.

Hello! Once again, I’m combining December and January’s wrap up, because it just felt silly to write a separate one for December and then January.  I want to start fresh and stay on track next month, and honestly, if I wrote them separately, I probably wouldn’t get January’s wrap-up up until the middle of February…So, here we are! BOOKS READ December – Letters from Father Christmas by J. R. R. Tolkien \\ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – The… Read More

Hello, and Happy New Year!  Now that 2016 has come and gone, it is finally time for me to share with you all my favorite books from the past year!  I read so many great books in 2016, so it was really hard for me to narrow it down to just 10.  These are organized based on the date I read them, not how much I loved them. 10. The 5th Wave… Read More
