Oh I used to read Rachel Bertsche’s blog! I didn’t realize her book had dropped, I’ll have to check it out.
Wow. I’m in awe of the “fifty movies” part of this challenge. I don’t think I’ve seen fifty movies total since I became a mom ten years ago. (Fifty books in a year is no easy feat, either!)
Good luck! Can’t wait to see how it goes. 🙂
I think I’d be willing to take on the book part of the challenge, but the movie part, no way. I’d never be able to get that done. Good luck!
