Learning the Art of Letting Go | Simply Musings
Something no one tells you about growing up is learning the art of letting go. I have a tendency of being a dragon. I cannot fly, nor breath fire, nor cast fear those around me. I can, however, hoard. All my possessions are a form of treasure. Each with a little story of how it…

I will be attending the annual Miami Book Fair November 19 & 20th! Super excited because there will be a bunch of Young Adult authors attending and a few with books I have already read*. There are also some authors whose books are on my current To Be Read list and I do not know…

Why I Read Books
Sometimes I get praises or questionable looks about why I read so much. Sometimes I am too scared to say that it is an escape from reality. Nothing against non-frequent readers, but reading helps the mind and you become a better person. I did not officially become an avid reader until I was in middle…
