Note: SO I’ve been an extra bad partner and did not load my books the last couple of weeks. I read, I just didn’t upload my books here. Boooo to me. Boooooo. Shame rattle. I’m going back and fixing my horrible ways this week, so the last 2 weeks of “It’s Monday What Are You Reading” will have some updated content and maybe I can actually post one of the articles I’ve written instead of just letting my powerhouse of a partner do all the things.
