You read the book and a mod gives it a look over before checking off your box. It gives me something to look forward to every month, and helps me prioritize my massive TBR (To Be … Read More
The Obligatory “I’m At My Parents With All the Animals” Photo Montage
I’d like to introduce you to, in no particular order, Elsa, Colleen, Marlene, Minnie, and Scruffy Muffy, whose real name, I think, is Muffin. Visiting my parents means spending hours on the porch swing with something fluffy and warm on my lap. I love it.
