Hello friends! It's been awhile, but I'm so excited to be back on the blog. What better time to get re-acquainted than for Dewey's 24-Hour Read-A-Thon. It's been over a year since I've last participated in RaT. I'm so happy to be in a better mind frame this year, than I was this time last year. I have some major reading I need to get done. I'll be posting updates on this post throughout the day. Happy reading to me! 😁
