Nothing new and exciting on my TBR this week. Due to the hurricane, we haven't been receiving mail, and my favorite bookstore lost power and is temporarily closed :(

But that doesn't mean that there's nothing exciting around here!

Finally, a quick Update on Pay It Forward

Though I've had some challenges making it to the post office in the last few weeks, a hurricane and a broken toe cannot stop me. I have four more Pay It Forward bloggers to contact, and I will be in touch with them in the next week!

    1. It's only a minor inconvenience. Three bills did show up last week, but beyond that, nothing!

    1. It's terribly sad. Things are slowly getting back to normal for most of us, but for some, it will take a long, long time.
