I feel like it has been forever since I talked about what I was reading! I looked back and it has been a few weeks, but I am back now. Here’s what I read recently. What Matters More by Liora Blake- I picked this up because I have read and enjoyed all of her previous books. For the most part I found this book boring and lacking emotional connection.
