Hi Katrina! Thanks for visiting my blog. It looks like you are new to the blog world, is that right? If so (or not) welcome! :) It can be as addicting as reading, which ultimately cuts into actual book reading time...but hey...it's fun.
I see you are in other challenges. Did you consider the Non-Fiction Five? We'd love to have you; it begins May 1.
Happy Reading!
I'm considering it, and yes I'm very new
