The Light We Lost – Jill Santopolo

Looking for some captivating summer reads? I haven’t covered any books on the blog in ages, but it’s not for lack of reading them.  I spent most of 2016 devouring the Outlander series (8 books with about 1,700 pages per book) – and let me tell you it was totally worth it. Not everyone is […]

Where did I go?

Swimming pool, Floridian 5 star, Florida

I’m sorry I was AWOL last week – I promise I wasn’t abandoning you for binge-watching Grace & Frankie (although I did do that) – last week was a bit crazy with “stuff to do”. We went to Florida for March Break, so last week was all about ‘catch-up’ – the worst part of coming […]
