This week’s prompt is such a fun one! It’s characters that I’d invite to my birthday party. Now that I’m older, my birthday parties have become a little more laid back and low key than they were when I was younger. But, I think inviting some book characters […]
It’s really feeling like summertime now. There are fun things going on, but there’s also some great books coming out! My TBR list is out of control, and I’ve been so focused on reading ARCs that I haven’t had a lot of time for pleasure reading, but there […]
