Month: July 2023
A Long Time Ago… And now tonight
When I was in 5th grade, I went to the local library with a friend. Okay, I probably went to the library twice a week, but still. Looking for something new to read. And I picked up a thick hardcover that I absolutely loved the look of. It looked like a thriller, but also like…
