Happy Sunday deerlings! In 2019 I learned about the AMAZING Year of the Asian Reading Challenge (#YARC) and I was able to participate until about September when life got super busy and I just lost track of what books I read. But! This year I really want to do this challenge again, especially since one…

Shifting into (Extra)Ordinary Time
Happy Sunday deerlings! I’d hoped to have this post up for you before now, but there were things out of my control. It’s almost the end of January and my Christmas decor has just come down. I know you’re thinking “Anna, it’s so freaking late why did you leave it up so long?” Well there’s…

Alright deerlings, have you ever looked at a super HYPED series and just pushed it to the back of your TBR because while you know it’s going to be good you just couldn’t handle waiting between each book in the series? Yeah I did that for Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes series. Now,…

24in48 Readathon Wrap Up
So this is a little late, but the readathon is over! I’m pretty proud of myself even though I didn’t quite make my goal of 16 hours (I came in at 15.5). I’ve never done this readathon before so I honestly didn’t have very high expectations even though I tend to make lofty goals for…
My Favorite NFP/FAM Resources
