Day 5: Love and Other Trainwrecks

Hi, Lovelies. We are doing another romance Christmas book for day 5. Most Christmas themed books seem to be romances or murder mysteries. I really wish there were some fantasy Christmas books, like maybe some about Santa’s Elves or something.

Day 2 & 3: Exploring A Christmas Carol

Hi, Lovelies. I missed yesterday 12 Books of Christmas because I was having technical difficulties. (If you missed the last book, click here) It is kinda hard to post a new blog post in the airport especially when my hosting site changed login systems on me.

And I just absolutely love the story and want to share the story …

Library of Congress Classification System

Hi, Lovelies.  I recently started a job at the college library and that is why I didn’t do a post last week. Or at least that’s the excuse I’m going with.
