Anagram Interactive provided me access to Paperless Post in exchange for an honest review. Putting a stamp on an envelope and sending a letter is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

A New Leaf

For the majority of 2018 I have been in a blogging rut. I’ve read, I’ve just lacked the enthusiasm to blog about it.  I want to enjoy what I’m reading without the self imposed pressure to review it.  I’ve tried to invoke my original spark for book blogging, but come up empty handed.  During my […]
