Good good links #86

Crazy how time keeps flying by. Are we really about to start into the last full week of April tomorrow??! At least that means there will be more and more truly warm and sunny days  [that’s what one of my cousins and I decided on so it’d better happen]. Either way, it’s Sunday and I know you’re wating for some good reads not my time/weather ramblings so there we go!

Happy Sunday!
