This past week was our Spring Break, and we didn’t go anywhere. So, I spent some time attempting to finish all of the books sitting around the house that I had gotten halfway through. It turns out that there were more than I thought. I got through six, but that wasn’t all of them.

I mean, the entirety of my oh so helpful Goodreads review after reading was, “This book wasn’t long enough.” THANKS A BUNCH, ASHLEY. If you aren’t familiar […]
