Do you have specific movies that you like to watch when you are ill, or during times when you are sad or stressed out? I certainly do! While I tend to spend more time reading and writing than watching movies or television, there have been many times over the past several months when I've found…
Good morning, everyone! I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend so far, and that you are continuing to stay healthy. As businesses continue to reopen across the U.S., Covid-19 cases have been increasing dramatically. I'd really like to encourage everyone to continue to follow the social distancing guidelines recommended by the CDC and…
It's hard to believe that it's been a week and a half since I participated in the Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon! During those 24 hours, I had the opportunity to read a lot of great books, and I've really enjoyed sharing those titles with you since the Readathon ended. This morning, I wanted to review…
