Recently, I’ve been working on moving and in the process, I’ve been touring apartments for potential places to live.

This isn’t a book I normally choose to read, so I had to think a little bit how I would review it. I’ll do my best, but just so you know this might not be the best interpretation of this book.

Happy Friday, everyone! I know this week has been wrought with a ton of reviews, but I feel like I’ve picked up my reading game recently. I honestly think it’s also to do with the readathon I did over the weekend. I’m just in the mood to read. I’ve got some blog posts unrelated to…
