I am feeling particularly unmotivated today. I didn’t even think about it last night. I know that it is Fiction Friday, but I have nothing at this point.

Our local library was a little over a mile away from our house and the back roads route made it pretty easy to ride our bikes there during the summer. I looked forward to the summer book contest every year. I was a bookworm as a child. I could, and often did, spend days continuously [...]
