As I read through the first few pages of a new book, I thought to myself, "I could have written this." "I smiled and feigned confidence as I began to tell our story. All the while, I wanted to scream from the rooftops that I shouldn't be there at all. That I was an educated woman.

Books I’ve Read: July 2017 (Quick and Easy Reads!)

Books I’ve Read: June 2017
