As reluctant as I am to admit it because, quite honestly, I don’t want it to be over yet, I am currently reading the final installment in Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series.

I am someone who firmly believes in the ideology of trusting my gut.

If I could time travel and had the opportunity to visit and tell my teenage self that I would develop an appreciation for history in the near future, I think I would have popped myself square in the teeth, without hesitation.
