Book Blitz: Shimmer

So I’ll be trying something a little different from time to time, and will be posting details about books by someone other than me that you might want to check out! You’ll be able to find them under the Book Blitzes and Blog Tours categories. The first one I’ll be featuring is a young adult […]

Bucket List Check: Road Trip to California

My bucket list has a definite theme: TRAVEL. When I look back on my life, I want it to look like a map of the world that’s stuck with hundreds of pins marking all the places I’ve seen. But my list doesn’t just have destinations; it also has methods of travel. This past weekend I
