I also hated a lot of books and I could make a whole new post about that, but right now I'm going to focus on the … Continue reading Favorite Books So Far in My Adulthood
Not too long ago, I took a trip back to my parents' home. I was collecting a few more of my items from my old bedroom (cleaning up stuff I left unfinished) and began to slowly but surely pack away a few dozen books from my old bookshelves.
