If you could permanently ban a word from use | 31 Days of Writing Prompts

How to Choose Which Books to Read

How to Choose Which Books to Read

I'd consult my list of books that Rory Gilmore would read (there was a legit list of all the books she read in the series) and pick something from there.

Why Grocery Delivery Just Isn’t Worth It

We tried our first food delivery program as soon as it became clear that quarantine was going to be more than just a couple week thing. We gave Shipt a go after hearing good things from friends in our neighborhood. We used it about 3-4 times before cancelling our subscription. Here's why. 1.
