Summer is already more than halfway over. It's crazy. July is a busy (ish) month here. The little monster turned 3 and HOW is he so big already? He was a teeny baby a second ago. Now he tells full stories and has strong opinions on things. It's also our wedding anniversary in July. The same day as the monster's birthday, because he made sure from day one to make it known things were about him now.
But hey, let's talk books. I won't get into any details now but I will say that I just finished the book Anxious People, and it was so good, I might even write an actual review. Stats time!

Have you read Joanne Ramos' The Farm? I've not finished yet (it's just for fun and I keep shunting it to the side while I read other things with work attached to them) but so far it's super engaging and a terrific page-turner that I haven't heard much buzz about it but wish I had!
