In case you missed it, an easy digest of Elza’s recent reads, latest news, and favorite blogging highlights!

Catch up on what I’ve been busy with this March & April, including:
Shop Updates
- New designs dropped at BumbleBess.com this March! I’ve been eager to add more Anne of Green Gables references to my shop, and this set was a fun way to indulge that whim.
Favorite Things
- I had to treat myself when Pusheen released a caffeine-infused product! It’s my new favorite item in the closet. Too bad sweater season is swiftly on its way out.
- Speaking of caffeine… this is the year I learned how to make cold brew. Surprise, surprise! It’s been super easy this whole time. My coffee connoisseur-ship is leveling up just in time for cold drinks season.
Reading Highlights
It’s been slow going for me with books lately, with a couple of DNFs, a few false starts, and one instance of misplacing the book I had just started reading. Oops!

Up Next
I’m looking forward to participating in Middle Grade Carousel’s annual Book A Day May reading challenge! There’s a nice stack of short books, gorgeous graphic novels, and a few audiobooks I’ve been hoarding for just this moment. It’s sure to be a fun way to launch into summer reading season.
