Welcome to my lovely little place!

Dear Reader,

Before you cozy in, you must know that I think coffee is a liar (it tastes nothing like it smells) so I drink hot cocoa every single morning and… I unashamedly have an alarm clock with bunny ears and keep a bottle of tiny glowing stars beside my bed. And if we’ve ever met in person, you are probably thinking, That actually makes sense. But please do feel free to stay awhile and explore my trove of thoughts and bookish-ness. It’s no fun to keep these things to myself. Maybe we can even chat over a cup of cocoa sometime soon. I would like that very much.

Thanks for stopping by! – Lauren
