In Case You Were Wondering (Because I am a Lazy, Lazy Blogger.)

The Last Camellia by Sarah Jio
Hidey Ho Bookworms! I’ve been feeling more blah than usual this winter. Perhaps the double dose of polar vortex is taking its toll, but I’ve got cabin fever something fierce.

A Rose By Any Other Name (Confession Friday)
Forgive me Bookworms, I must confess that I’ve been neglecting you. I am officially the crazy flower lady. I took time off of work to plant my flowers this year. Seriously.
