The Struggles of Being a Bookworm
Dear Readers,
The reading life is wonderful. From cozying up in your beanbag on a rainy day to scouring the shelves of Barnes and Noble, there are many things to love. There is, however, some difficulties to being a bookworm, and sometimes you just have to let it all out. Obviously they are not problematic enough to turn us away from the reading life, but they are definitely peevish. And yes, I will admit that this post has been done hundreds of times, but I just wanted to take a stab at it. ...

[BLOG TOUR] A Song Below Water
SYNOPSIS
Tavia is already at odds with the world, forced to keep her siren identity under wraps in a society that wants to keep her kind under lock and key.

May 2020 Recap: Wait for It
Happy June, Readers!

Summary
This month gave off a lot of “in the thick of it” vibes (hence the title of this post). I started journalling at the beginning of the month and then forgot about it, so I’ll probably pick that back up again. We had a birthday party ...

Writer Bucket List
Dear Readers,
Sometimes my brain does things with out telling me. In this case, I had already been planning to do this post today, but I forgot as it was a few weeks ago that I wrote it on my calendar. Last week I started my writer’s notebook and wrote down my bucket list, without remembering that I was going to do this post. In any case, I’m going to pick a few of the things I wrote down to share with you guys. If you would like to suggest more ideas, or tell me your own, I’d love to hear fr...

I got more books!
Now, technically I was supposed to use the money for furnishing my new bedroom, and that is was most of it went towards, and if I hadnt had to online shop, I assure you I would have spent a lot more of it on my room, but considering my circumstances, I am okay with my purchases.
Plus I have more books!
