Happy Monday!

Hi pals! I'm SO sorry about missing out on my Happy Monday post last Monday, but I had just gotten back from SoCal and had a crap ton of stuff to deal with.

Luckily, I didn't notice the bug bites until I got home, so my whole trip was pretty smooth. I'm definitely glad to be home. I didn't end up listening to The Darkest Part of the Forest...

I listened to All We Have is Now by Lisa Schroeder and finished it before I even got to LA, since it was only 5 hours long. If I have time I'll post my review some time this week, but it'll probably come out...
