And a new reading challenge, to boot! Let’s talk about… Read More 2020: My Reading Year (and My 2020 Top 10!)
Okay, everyone. It’s time to talk about one of my FAVORITE shows on television. I love, love, love the Great British Bake-Off; it’s just the coziest, happiest, most wonderful show.

Okay, I remember what November felt like when I was working as a teacher, and it was tough. You have to struggle through those first three weeks of it being dark when you drive to work; the students are restless because they know a break is coming their way but aren’t willing to wait patiently.… Read More November Reading Wrap-Up
