So January ended being a really busy month for me. I was feeling tired and worn out but then ALAMW happened and I got to see so many friends and it really made me feel better about life! So here’s how the first of the month went for me! Tell me how January treated you! Favorite Things in January: I finally saw Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse and I loved it! I wasn’t sure what to expect honestly, and it was fantastic! It […]

Climb a V5. Blog more. 10 pull ups.— Wendy (@BookScents) January 1, 2018 Just in the nick of […]
