Nevertheless, I'm extremely excited to have more time on my hands; I missed blogging and sharing my (often) pointless thoughts for the entire Internet to see. It's surprisingly therapeutic and unbelievably rewarding. Therefore, to celebrate my first post of the month, I'll be talking about one of my ALL-TIME favorite books which I'll never get tired of even when I'm fifty and wrinkly and knitting sweaters for tiny orphan cats. Please excuse the disturbing visual. My excitement needs some sort of outlet.
