On The Same Page discussion

After such a trifling, emotional, frustrating, difficult, weird, scary, and just upsetting year (or two); I have decided that I am just going to wing it.

After semi-retiring and chilling here at home for the past few weeks, I do have some semblance of self. I really feel like I can breathe. So, having a free-for-all on reading sounds great. I still want to list out some books from series and ATW; but not so many. Bare with me, y'all!!
