Hi, I'm Betsy and this is my life.
So...I was in a TikTok hole as is wont to happen at least to myself, and a girl popped in with something she had found on another girl's TikTok.

I finally finished The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern on Christmas. I was looking forward to this book immensely because I absolutely loved The Night Circus. In fact I re-listen to the audio book of The Night Circus every couple of months; it is read by Jim Dale who brings such life and sympathy to... Continue Reading →
