    Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting! Stephanie, I'm definitely an eclectic reader. I get bored reading the same types of books all the time. I need variety! :-)

    Sounds like you got a lot done. All I need to get busy with are those mounting book reviews. ;)

    Now it's time for you to kick back and read.

    Have a fun week!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.
