I can’t explain to you how excited I was when I was sent the email announcing that YALLWEST (Now YALLSTAYHOME) was going virtual! I’ve never been to a book festival before, and I’ve dreamt of attending this one. I registered so quickly! just the thought of getting to see my favorite authors speak about their books and writing had me over the moon. I documented this rare and wonderful occasion. At least something good came out of being stuck at home.
Who here is in need of some self care?
I think the past week or so has been hard for all of us. The whole world is dealing with this pandemic and the news just keeps getting more negative and mental health isn’t at its best.

I’ve had this as a 2019 goal since last year. I wanted to create a series where I share not just what I’ve read but also what I’ve done, watched, and everything in between on a monthly basis. August will be the first post under this series! This will mostly be rambles if I’m honest.
