message 111: by Lav (new)

Lav (visionoflilac) | 1 comments Hi! My name is Kayla, and I am a self-proclaimed book addict. I have an addiction to both buying and reading. Over the course of the past year, I found myself in a reading slump. Thankfully, it's over now! I hope to become an active member of Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. I figured what better way to do that than to join a few groups. With that said, I am hoping this also gets me motivated to read more and with less stress.
