To say that I’m a proud parent would be somewhat of an understatement. Both J and E never fail to amaze me but this month our little lady has blown our socks off with gusto.

Read Having completed Adam Silvera’s Death-Cast series, I decided to explore some of his previous books and ended up ordering ‘History Is All You Left Me’. Though it took me a week or two to make progress with this book, I’ve finally got myself into the story and, I’m now a couple of chapters into reading History Is All You Left Me. Watched After a…
