Hey Y’all!

Hello fellow bookworms! I’m Darrah, a retired broadcast journalist from West Virginia. I’m a mom to three little-ish kids, a senior Yorkie pup, and loving wife to my “dreammate” hubs, even if he picks the Chiefs over my Steelers. I read everything (by read I mean mostly listen to audiobooks), am a super efficient meal planner (you can check out my efforts at Fourganic Sisters), and semi-successfully care for green things. (RIP to that poor FLF pictured.) You can reach me on Instagram @checkyourshelves or checkyourshelves<at>gmail<dot>com
