"I may have girl bossed a little to close to the sun..." At the beginning of 2021, I received my new kindle. I hadn't really read for fun in quite a while and wasn't even sure what I liked to read anymore. I decided to get a Kindle Unlimited account and set my reading goal to 100 books for the year. I honestly didn't think I would even make it to that. But half way through the year we moved out-of-state and I found myself with a heck of a lot of time on my hands. I ended up surpassing my goal by 75% according to my Kindle Reading Insights.

I want to stress over the perfect tickles, not the perfect hospital corners. I want the beauty in the mess.
