Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Last night, all of my body parts were warm at the same time. I have been freezing my ass off at the office for the last two years. Now I'm working from home and feel, dare I say, comfortable? Riddhi @ Whispering Stories tagged me in the Finally Fall Book Tag. I love fall, so… Continue reading Finally Fall Book Tag
The bloggers I know are kind. Case in point: Meghan @ Meghan's Whimsical Explorations & Reviews tagged me in this Awesome Blogger Award tag. Meghan does deep dives into TV shows, music, and your favorite YA books. I very much look forward to her reviews and you will, too. The award was created by Maggie @Dreaming… Continue reading The Awesome Blogger Award
I meant to publish this yesterday for Top Ten Tuesday. Instead, after three family Christmases and a miserable four-hour ride in a cramped truck, I stayed in bed and read all day. As a consequence, some last-minute books snuck their way onto my Top 10 list. It's a Cinderella story and a plot twist all… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2019
I miss school. I'm a social baby who loves to learn. I'm flashing back to my senior high of school, which suuuucked. The start of school, though, was ALMOST ALWAYS great. My outfits K I L L E D I T. To celebrate the start of school again, I'm doing the Back-to-school Back Tag as… Continue reading Back-to-school Book Tag
I hate when I read something from the library, love it, and have to RETURN it. Truly a terrible plight in the life of a bookworm. I've read many lovely books that, for a plethora of reasons, I do not own. The following are my top priorities. Technically, You Started It by Lana Wood Johnson… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’ve Read That I’d Like in My Personal Library
THIS IS THE TOP TEN TUESDAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. There's a meme going around Twitter where readers who claim to hate cliches cry over their favorite archetypes and genre conventions. The grumpy one loves the sunshine one? I'm tearing up already. (RONAN'S SECOND SECRET WAS ADAM PARRISH.) For my favorite tropes, I chose a… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Tropes
I DNF (book blogger for "did not finish") books all the time. Last month, I DNFed 9 books. Just this week, I DNFed 2. I'm able to do this thanks to a high school English teacher who said, "Life is too short to read books you don't like." She was right. Why might I DNF… Continue reading Reasons to DNF
I haven't felt all that interested in writing fiction for...a while. I've felt jealous of other bloggers with WIPs and daily word counts, but I never felt compelled to join them. That was until I found an idea that excited me. Like all my favorite ideas, this one started as a joke. Then I started… Continue reading Blog Update: Hiatus?
In the past few days, I've written just over 5,000 words for my rough draft. Per the website, I should be at 10,000. Here's the deal: I. Am. Struggling. And, in true 4-on-the-enneagram fashion, I've been moping about it. Why was this so much easier when I was in college? Since when am I concerned… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Update: Day 6
This is not an advice post. I've been thinking about my creative process since a fallout with a writing partner in 2016. I come to most writing advice with the question, "Is this something that works for me?" Though my process for fiction is a bit different, this post covers how I write most of… Continue reading How I Blog: My Creative Process
