Happy Saturday, everyone!

Happy Saturday, everyone! Can you believe we're a quarter of the way into 2024 already?

Happy Saturday, everyone! First off, please, please, please tell me this post is showing up in your readers??!

Happy Saturday, everyone! January has come and gone, and just like that, we're already one full month into 2024.

Happy January, everyone! It's time to spread some start-of-the-year cheer and get into my favorite books I discovered these past twelve months!

Happy Saturday, everyone! It's December, and I am back among the living! Well, sort of.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Happy Saturday, everyone! My life is still totally chaotic - all accounts of those final few months of teacher training were unfortunately 100% accurate - but since I have at least successfully passed the first chunk of my exams, I figured I might as well pop in here for my September wrap-up. Seeing as I … Continue reading What I Read in September 2023
Happy Monday, everyone! Nope, I haven't changed my posting schedule, and I'm not back from my hiatus, either.
