Hi, my name is Courtney. I love books, travel, and food. I blog about some of these things as well as a bit of family, sports, movies, music, the Brits, and a bunch of the cute or generally great stuff that shows up on the Internet. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and am now serving in the Primary (the Church's children's organisation) where I am being tested and stretched in ways I didn't know were possible.
In addition to everything I mentioned above, I am a true lover of lists. I love thinking about them. I love making them. I love checking things off my to-do lists. Really, my love for the list cannot be overstated. Here are a few of my lists:
