Hi friends! It's been awhile since I've done a book review! Let's start with Under the Harrow, by Flynn Berry. I started this book in September, right after finishing a terrible mystery novel.

2018 Recap
Good morning, friends! As I type this, I am drinking coffee, have a knitting project on my lap (I needed a break from the llama amigurumi torso) and am wondering when the Twilight Zone marathon is starting (edit: it's already started, YAY!)

Hello everyone! I'm still struggling with finding a good update schedule for this little blog as I delve deeper into test mode (now less than two months away, gulp).
