July 2017 Monthly Wrap-UpThe summertime always flies by, but July 2017 seemed like an especially busy month.

April 2017 Happenings at The Story Sanctuary

Most of those came as part of a challenge with Bookshelves and Paperbacks to catch up on some languishing ARCs. More about how that worked out in a second.

You also may have spotted me on Book Addicts Guide in Brittany’s Book and a Beverage feature in which she … Continue reading →
