Resolutions for 2019
I love the idea of setting goals and resolutions for 2019, but I’m one of those people, who do really well for a short while and then by the end of the year, I don’t actually remember what my goals were! I’m going to set a few specific goals this…

Top Ten Tuesday: Spooky Middle Grade Titles
This week’s theme is spooky, scary books, a genre, I admit, is not one that I read that often. I’m not a huge fan of spooky books, tv shows, and movies, so it was honestly difficult to come up with ten titles that I’ve read recently! I focused on middle grade…
