Who doesn't love being in nature? I Love The Mountains I always thought I was going to be a city girl and when I left for college I was excited to live somewhere "city-like" and away from the mountains but that excitement didn't last long. I really thought that I'd like the city more because… Continue reading Day 3 of 5 Days of Love

Book thirty nine/forty of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Cynthia Hand's The Last Time We Say Goodbye This book was a little hard to read mainly because of the central element of the story being about a teen's suicide and how it affects those close to them. I think Cynthia Hand handles the touchy subject very… Continue reading Book Review: “The Last Time We Say Goodbye”
Book thirty eight of my 2019 Reading Challenge. Rainbow Rowell's Pumpkinheads I've really enjoyed reading Rainbow Rowell's novels and when I found out she had a graphic novel coming out that was fall oriented I was very excited.

I've never been a New Year's resolutions type of person and last year I think I set… Continue reading Reflecting on a Decade, Preparing for the Next
