My June Bookhaul // Vacation Edition

Last month, Joshua and I had a really fun vacation. It was one part staycation, one part drive-up-north-where-its-twenty-degrees-cooler, and fifty-seven parts visit every bookstore and Goodwill we came across. Absolute vacation #goals. The first bookstore we went to was an underground, hole-in-the-wall beauty, absolutely packed with books on the older side, which made J super...Continue reading »
