My A-z reading challenge
Hello and welcome back to Beauty In The Library. My name is Tabby, and I hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We didn’t do our Thanksgiving until Saturday because everyone was working. Which gave us time to digest the huge amount of food we all consumed, lol. And man, was their great food. I was in charge of the turkey this year, and it was 25lb of greatness. Comment down below what you had as well, and what your favorite Thanksgiving tradition is.
