A Bookish Catch-Up

It’s been a minute, and I’ve been in a slump, but the joys of Christmas reading pulled me out and into some other genres that I’m having fun exploring.

There are a lot of great books out there, and I want to talk to you about what some that I'm currently reading and planning to read this year. 

I'm back! Let's get back into the boat and sail into some uncharted waters of literature. Let's catch up on how my reading fared for 2021, what I'm currently reading, and my excitement about the Amazon Lord of the Rings series.
