3 Things to Think About At 33 [GIVEAWAY]

Hey guys! It’s my birthday! Yes, that’s right, today I am 33. I know there isn’t anything big or special about 33, but I’m a birthday person, and every year I get older, I do think I gain a little more wisdom and a lot more perspective. So, if you’ll indulge me, here is a list of things I’ve thought about and learned in the past year. How Much I Value My Physical Well-Being Look, I’m not saying I’m the healthiest person around, but having sprained my ankle and spent months healing it, only to have it strained again…I’m aware […]

GIVEAWAY: Happy Blogoversary, Mostly YA Lit!

Guys, it’s my three year blogoversary! Yes, it’s true, Mostly YA Lit is three years old, and she’s celebrating in style this year with a brand spankin’ new design, courtesy of Hazel @ Stay Bookish and a move to WordPress self-hosting courtesy of Ashley @ Nose Graze (Creative Whim).

Also, I’ve been spending more time than I need to formatting my posts, […]

I knew I wasn’t going to get into her line later on, but honestly, all I really wanted was to do that because […]
