If you know me at all, you know I’m a ruthless DNFer. When I’m not enjoying a book, I rarely stick around for very long unless I have a reason to (usually hype, or a friend rec that I trust).

I had 13 in […]
Christmas is sneaking up on us fast, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite bookish gift ideas, and from some of my favorite companies!
