Top 5 Most Disappointing January Reads
This month, I read books hyped books from my TBR. I expected to be blown away by every book I read. For the most part, I was. I loved almost all of the books I read this month.

I mentioned acquiring some serious, award-winning books that I couldn't wait to read. I also mentioned some long-unread books on my TBR and some current rereads. Well. I visited my hometown library.

Today's featured image was taken at my college honors convocation. My professor (that's him on the far left) nominated me to be the honors speaker. Neither of us ever heard back.
