My blog has been rather dormant this year, but I have not been! I've been busy teaching kindergarten, editing my middle grade novel, being a distributor for It Works health and wellness products, momming my three awesome kids, and all this below!

Here is my annual list of what I read, watched, and rocked out to!

I mostly read in the summer or on school breaks, so the list isn't as long as I'd like, but I read some amazing books this year!
