Happy Monday, Readers! Whatever you're up to this week, I hope it starts out well for you. There's nothing particularly exciting on my schedule for this week aside from a stack of surprisingly thick juvenile fiction books. Hopefully they won't take more than two or three days each, but we'll see. I've been sitting on... Continue Reading →
Happy last week of April, Readers! As this month draws to a close, I'm sure there are more than a few people breathing a sigh of relief. There are also plenty who are grieving. Wherever you find yourself, I hope that this week brings a brighter shade of hope. Maybe it will bring a good... Continue Reading →
Hello, Readers! I hope you had a restful weekend. Mine was pleasantly filled with general errands, which my family worked on together. Nothing terribly exciting, but I am definitely okay with that! Today's post, which showcases a few of the books I recently acquired, will be linked to both Mailbox Monday and Library Loot Mailbox... Continue Reading →
Hello, Readers! There is so much that could be said in the wake of Valentine's Day. For some, it is a wonderful whirlwind of love and excitement and fun; for others, it's a terribly dreadful day of loneliness and pain. This year, I tried to plan ahead, and constructed a narrative that I expected to... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! We're halfway through October, how did that happen? Is this month treating you well? It's been pretty chaotic for me at work, but I wouldn't have it any other way because there are so many tangible blessings and lessons coming from this season. Each individual occurrence may not be exactly what I would... Continue Reading →
Hello, Readers! A note before we get into the meat of todays post: This post is not 100% bookish. Feel free to gasp, clutch your hands together, and whisper "the horror!" dramatically. Okay, melodrama done? Read on, and I think you'll like what I have in mind. Today I want to focus on building community... Continue Reading →
Hey y'all! Today's post is like nothing I have posted before, but I think it is relevant enough that you will still enjoy it. Today I am taking part in a linkup that is not entirely book related, but not entirely unrelated, either. It's called Yarn Along, and you can read more about it on... Continue Reading →
Good morning, y'all! I did something this weekend that I haven't done in a couple months: I wrote a (very) short story. It was a little easier this time around, as I used characters and a setting from a story that I am inconsistently working on writing anyways. In fact, this story is a bit... Continue Reading →
Hey y'all! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Today I want to learn a little about my readers (that's you!), so I have two questions for you. I hope you will answer these in the comments, and then we can discuss them a bit and get to know each other a little better! It... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday! Today's Monday Mini asks you to look at reading with a slightly different lens from what I expect to be most people's default. Often, we look at reading as a way to escape the world, and there is nothing wrong with that! However, there can be caustic effects from our go-away-I'm-reading attitude. It... Continue Reading →
