About

Hi, my name is Cari. I live in Virginia and I love art and going to the beach. I am very passionate about animals, especially ocean animals. I also love reading and writing. I created this blog to have a place to share my reading insights, writing, and to have fun. If you like animals, you can check out my blog All Creatures Great and Small where I post about animals and conservation.

I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves, I have walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time because I read.

~George R. R. Martin
