Hello readers! Unfortunately I don't have the time to write out a proper bookish or writing blog post for this week, so I decided I'd write a life update instead! This week I am...drumroll please...heading off to college! Wowie! I'm really excited for this next step in my life! A little intimidated as well, but… Continue reading Life Update #1

Ten Books from my Childhood
My mom always encouraged reading. We still have the shelf stuffed with children's books in the house, and I remember every evening I would pick out a good stack, plop them down on the couch, and read them all through. I read them, then re-read them, and re-read them again. After doing some musing, I… Continue reading Ten Books from my Childhood
Noise
Noise I listen for silence, but all around Are voices shrilly calling. The world is filled with deafening sound, The volume never falling. I search for just a shred of peace, A momentary breath. But those loud voices never cease, And I'm swept up again. I yearn to close my eyes and… Continue reading Noise
Three Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Writing
Writing was something I started doing completely on my own. Unlike piano, where I had a music teacher and the guidance that followed from my lessons, I was very on my own as a writer. Granted, I did start out writing with a few friends, but we were really young, and I was… Continue reading Three Things I Wish I Had Known When I Started Writing
Four Books I’d Love to see Movie Adaptations For
I think many readers share the same love-hate relationship with movie adaptations.

Liebster Award
Hello readers! I interrupt our regularly scheduled program (if you can even call it that) to do something different this week! I was nominated for the Liebster Award which, as I'm copying straight from my nominator's blog, is as such: The Liebster Award originated in Germany. The German word Liebster means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest,… Continue reading Liebster Award
Baby Steps Towards Big Goals
Writers often have to face enormous goals and achievements. The problem comes when one arrives at the foot of the mountain and attempts to reach the top in a single bound. Write a book. Publish the book. Build a platform. It's so paralyzing to stare up at the top of that mountain hidden by snow… Continue reading Baby Steps Towards Big Goals
Books for Each Season: Summer Edition
Sometimes, I associate a book with a certain season. It's usually the season I read it in, but sometimes it's the overall ~vibe~ of the book as well. Now that summer is arriving, I thought I'd share six books that always take me back to summertime! 1. The Outcast of Redwall by Brian Jacques I… Continue reading Books for Each Season: Summer Edition
5 Books I’d Like to Re-read
I love being able to go back and re-read an old favorite. It's so nice to step back into a familiar world you loved. Unfortunately, my TBR stack is so constantly out of control that I feel like I never have time to! I know there's a lot of value in re-reading inspiring, well-written… Continue reading 5 Books I’d Like to Re-read
