About This Site

My name is Jamie Lyssa. I have 5 cats, and I’m a special ed teacher. I’m a Slytherclaw [with a touch of Gryffindor] and an INFJ. I like reading, concerts, photography, road trips,  video-games, and I am highly addicted to caffeine.  This blog is my little corner of the internet. Expect highly sarcastic book reviews, movie reviews, concert reviews, trip reports, and random ramblings about my life.
