Hey readers! Welcome back to the start of another week! I hope you all had a pretty good weekend! Mine went well. In fact, I’ve got some good news for you.
Afternoon readers! I know it’s a bit late today. Sorry! I had an appointment that split my morning.
Hiya, lovely peeps!
New year, new library.
So in mid-December I was browsing through my libraries, trying to find a story that I wanted to re-read, and that’s when I realized that the three libraries I had (Honest Favorites, Happy Upvotes, and Most Wonderful Stories) were a little too full. So I decided to break it down into several genres.
