Because some lines just need to be shared..

Welcome!

This post means we are on the final stretch before the year ends and we get to begin it all again in 2023, isn’t that exciting?
But before that happens, let’s go over some of the one liners I’ve selected to share with you.
(Not all of the books I’ve read this last half of the year were included but I think you’ll find a few that speak to you.)

Enjoy!
