how i read so many books

If I have to guess, the question I get asked the most in life is "How do you read so many books" and I mean, I understand. At the moment that I am writing this, I have read 102 books and there will probably be at least 2 or 3 more before I have it …

The end of another month has come upon us and somehow we are 1/6 of the way through 2018! Where the heck has the time gone? While I feel like the month flew by I was still able to read a few awesome books that I think all of you should know about them. At …

Today marks the start of Freedom to Read week, something that means a lot to me as an advocate of literacy, and the right for everyone to access any and all information.

the best netflix shows

I haven't had cable for a year and a half and guess what? I haven't missed it at all. Whenever I do see something on actual TV (like the superbowl last week) I am blown away by the amount of commercials that exist and how I really don't want any of the things that they …
