So.... I may have forgotten all about this blog. Life sometimes comes at you fast, and next thing you look up and see that 11 years have passed since your last entry.
TLDR: Graduated from College, worked retail as I got certified to teach, and started teaching. In my 9th year, and not sure how long I'll keep at it.
I know not many people read my blog when I first started, and doubt that anyone will read it going forward. But I think that I am going to re-start it, and focus on my Book Riot Read Harder Challenge 2024, and maybe review more books as I read them too.
Here's my list as it is! If anyone wants to suggest something for the TBD ones, please let me know!
