Fantasy and science fiction books and blogposts
I read a bunch of books over vacation, and I thought I would go through and give a brief review of each! Before I left, I put a story up on Instagram with my four vacation reads I'd picked out and why I was excited about them. Let's see how they held up. So I... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! I meant to have this post done Friday, but I didn't so here we are. As previously mentioned here, I went on vacation for two weeks in June. I've been back at work for a little over a week now and things are finally starting to settle enough for me to find time... Continue Reading →
