Hello Readers! Happy New Year! First a little life update… December was a whirlwind for me.

My Winter 2022 Book HookUp Unboxing
After visiting New York, my husband gifted me a subscription to The Strand’s The Book HookUp.

November 2022 Monthly Wrap-Up & Book Haul
Hello Readers! November was a struggle for me. I participated in my 9th NaNoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month), but once again I was a #NaNoRebel, working on an existing project, which is never as fun as creating something new and shiny.
