So I haven’t watched television regularly since college. Busy jobs, and then kids made getting into many shows difficult. And usually, I’d really rather read. But check it out.

What we’re reading – aka Look what I found in my Kindle!
Lisa Kessler here! These days I read everything on my Kindle or my phone. The last time I opened a paperback it was to judge RITA books at the beginning of the year. But recently I’ve discovered some new about my reading… Because I don’t have a pretty book sitting on my shelf saying “Read … Continue reading
An Interview with Delilah S. Dawson
