Rabid Reads has been a labour of love for almost eight years now, but like all good things, it too must come to an end.

You’ve pushed me to grow this blog into what it is today with your enthusiastic comments, requests for ..read more

I knew it wouldn’t be easy . . . I knew there would be disappointments . . . BUT. I didn’t know that after putting forth all that effort, after finding th ..read more
