Read, Watch Listen: My Favorites of 2018

While I love blogging and creating content, I don’t know if anything is more entertaining than consuming good content. Whether nonfiction or fiction, narrative or journalistic, I love a story that is well written, well edited, well produced.

Finding the Lost Girls

In case you haven’t realized it yet, I’m a HUGE reader. I love books, reading, and getting lost in a great story. I probably read more fiction than non-fiction, but I’m always up for a good story.
