Summer Book Reviews

Unfortunately, summer was not a reading season for me, so my summer book reviews are somewhat lacking. I began a new job at the beginning of June, and now work 5-6 days a week. I don’t have many full off days, and I have a shorter commute. All of these changes mean I didn’t have

A Plant Lady in the Making

Winter Book Reviews

I am an avid reader, and each year I challenge myself to read more books than the year before. This year, I have decided to write a short review of each book I read (or listened to), because I’ve always found these super helpful when choosing books. I have compiled all of the book reviews
