If I’d Had a Blog in High School…

Recently, I've realized a number of the incredibly wonderful book bloggers I follow are in high school or were in high school when they started blogging.

It's called a comfort zone for a reason. It's my happy place, the place I go to in order to retreat from the world and the chaos of my household.
