May 2018 Bookish Life Budget May has gradually thrown us into summer. By the last few days, we’ve gotten up into the hundreds with heat indexes well above. I really hope this isn’t a prelude to a summer full of hundreds for us. I’m not big on this kind of heat. I like to hide […]
I don’t know where April went. I feel like I was just writing March’s update! Work has been crazy nuts and I feel like I’m not getting much time to get around to the other blogs. I see a lot of great posts popping up in my feed but haven’t had any time to pull […]
