Book Blogger Appreciation Week: A Big Fat Fail

The time just flies. Before I know it, it is the end of the week and BBAW is complete, and how did I take part, what did I get out of it? Nothing but a big fat Zero. The past two weeks have been action packed on the personal side. First my mother-in-law fell ill.…
