January wasn’t a hugely successful reading month for me due to moving into a new apartment, starting a new full time job, and y’know getting married. But I’m not mad about it as my life …

The Impact of Books on my D&D Journey
I know I’ve mentioned it on Bookstagram, and included my weekly game in my Monday schedule for the personal side of things. But I don’t think I’ve talked a lot on my blog about my love of Dungeons and Dragons! I have long been a fantasy reader, and dragons were one of my earliest fantasy …
