I’m the type of reader who likes to stick to familiar authors. That doesn’t mean I never pick up a book from a new author, it just means I tend to favor spending my reading time with someone I know I’m going to enjoy. In order for an author to make my favorites list I […]
I like trying new things. Especially when I don’t have to try very hard. I’m not exactly lazy. I simply believe in conserving my time and energy as much as possible. If someone else has already created simple instructions on how to make a wheel, there’s no way I’m going to start figuring it out […]

Don’t look now, but the holiday season is fast approaching.
