Book Talk: Being okay with not posting every single day.

I get it. I do. You just started or have already been at this for a while so you read and post. Every. Single Day. I’m here to tell you, you don’t have to do that. Believe when I say I know.

Not once a month.” Me: “Like what?” Hubby: “I don’t know Savy. Do a Friday Freebie or something. But get rid of some of these books.” So here I am doing this.
