Feels Like I Have Abandoned the Blog

Posted on June 3, 2014 by bookjunkie

My partner keeps asking me why I haven’t been updating my blog. Apart from the computer that keeps crashing and the tiny font on the iphone that’s hurting my eyes, my wifi being down (yup, excuses), I just basically lost … Continue reading →
