The Shining. Gasps.
Jul. 25, 2012—The Shining by Stephen King. AH. Stephen King certainly doesn’t disappoint if you’re looking for a book that draws you in with a whirlwind of emotions.

Jul. 10, 2012—I successfully donated blood for the second time today! I say “successfully” because there’s a funny story about that. The first time I tried to donate, my iron level was too low, and the second time I could only fill half a bag so the nurses gave up.
