Currently Binge Watching: Portlandia
How was your February? My month was exhausting! Lots of work and a bit of traveling. I’m also halfway through my literary internship as well which I am absolutely loving. With all of that going on, I didn’t read nearly as much as I wanted to but I’m determined to put the Madness in March and read my butt off. Who’s in? Okay, let’s get to the roundup!
