edit data

When she was little, Rachael Kosinski wanted to be a paleontologist, an astronaut, a nature photographer, a writer for National Geographic, an Egyptologist, and the next Jane Goodall. Instead of being a new link between man and chimp, or discovering a planet suitable for sustained human life, or maybe even winning renowned fame by stumbling across an undiscovered dinosaur, Rachael finally decided that, if she never became a writer, she would simply die. Nine years later, she now possesses a quirky knowledge of world mythology, an addiction to coffee, and a penchant for making over-expressive faces at her laptop.

A Moth to a Flame: a July Round Robin

Hello, all. It's getting a bit difficult to scrabble up some time to do these, but I'm ardent about staying active as a writer. Between my summer job at a bookstore and applying for loans/petitioning the UK for my visa to attend graduate school in London, all I seem to want to do is catch a breather or sleep. But, lest I forget, I'm also a writer. Luckily one thing I have been doing is reading... Read more of this blog post »

One of my favorite books from my childhood! When I was little, all I ever wanted was to build a raft and sail down the river. And play Robin Hood and find buried treasure too, of course.

Burned through this and regretted not buying the second Timothy Wilde book sooner. Timothy is ultra smart but also incredibly relatable. Valentine is also a real gem--amazing character.

I really like the characters in this. Midoriya is a very different kind of protagonist in that he's not anything close to confident but wants to be a hero.
