She’ll be a year old in May. I know I’ll look back and say the puppy stage went by too quickly, but I will NOT be taking these quiet moments for granted.

I got my LEGO Endurance today 😍 I sat down and built Shackleton’s boat already, but I think this project will have to wait for the weekend.

I was rearranging one of my shelves, and pulled out this lovely book I purchased during the Indie Horror Brawl. Stuck, by Ben Young. I cannot tell you how much I love this cover. It was designed by Ruth Anna Evans.

I started reading The Queen by Nick Cutter earlier this week. It’s been slow progress because I’ve been in a bad slump since July, but I’m really enjoying it so far. Typical of NC, it’s quite unsettling.
