Part of my reading goals this year is to read more of the books I still haven’t read on my shelves. They’ve been giving me the stinky eyes. 🙂 Anyway, I’ve been meaning to read Six of Crows for a while and that’s the best decision I’ve made in a while because it was such a great read. Now, I do have a confession to make. Let me tell you more…
Continue reading Book Review: Six Of Crows by Leigh BardugoI don’t recall when the last time I posted anything on my blog was. Back then, I needed a break back and took quite an extensive one to be honest. No regrets though because it was much needed, so I’m at peace with it.
With that said, I’m not going to tell you that 2023 brought new resolutions, more time and untapped energy. Let’s be real: I’m a mother of a young one, three cats (and yes I said 3 lol), and a wife with full time job. More time or energy just does not happen, but if you can make that happen, just know that you’re my hero.
Now, let’s check what’s new below…

I believe it’s safe to say that 2020 is a year we’ll all remember and we’re all happy it came to an end. This year, we all proved how vulnerable, resilient, and adaptable we can be when facing adversity. I’ve always considered myself to be an optimist, someone who always tries to look at the bright side even when things go to sh#*! But even I can say that things got a bit intense this year.
So today, instead of reviewing a book, I decided to review this year. Yep! I’m doing it! Also, I’ve decided to write what I’ve learned from this year and what my plan will be for this new year. Told you I like to look at the bright side… I do not lie. 🙂
