oh, beautiful books

I browsed a section of the bookstore I don’t usually visit. I prioritize the children’s and YA section, find a book or two that must come home with me, and if I look at anything else it’s extra. This time we found ourselves in the sci-fi and fantasy section. Whether it was because of the...Continue reading »

20 questions book tag (and a mystery)
