We're all on a voyage. This one is mine.
My friend bullied me into buying this. Okay, I should probably start at the beginning. My friend, Sarah (@realmofsarah on Instagram), read this book first. Sarah finished the book and immediately texted me that "the kiss scene needs to be studied academically." That was a very compelling argument, so I added it to my TBR.… Continue reading An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson // A Book Review
Last year, I posted my A Beginner's Guide to the Dystopian Genre. It hasn't been a huge hit, nor did it get tons of views. But, you know what, it was really fun to write. So, I wanted to do it again. For as long as I can remember, I've been a huge fan of… Continue reading A Beginner’s Guide to the Childhood-Best-Friends-to-Lovers Trope
A few weeks ago, I was at the library to return some books. I've been going there a lot more lately, and it's been nice, even if I don't always finish the books I check out. That particular time, though, I saw two paperback copies of Check & Mate in the YA section. I'd seen… Continue reading Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood // A Book Review
If you've been here for a bit, you know that this topic is incredibly close to my heart. When it comes to grief, I'm a very honest person. I don't hide that this is the emotion that has shaped me the most. But what you may not know is that I'm obsessed with writing about… Continue reading How to (Realistically) Write Grief
I recently started drafting my first novel. That might be a surprising fact for those of you who have been following me for a while. I've written a handful of short stories, a novella, and have started several novels. But this is going to be the one I finish first. There's something incredibly healing and… Continue reading Introducing My WIP // Characters, Aesthetics, and Music
I'm beyond honored to share the brand new cover for Kara Swanson's upcoming book, Ignite. I'm absolutely in love with this cover, and I will 100% be buying a copy (I just haven't decided if I want to go ahead and preorder it or if I want to wait for the paperback . . .).… Continue reading Ignite by Kara Swanson // A Cover Reveal
A few months ago, I requested ASAP by Axie Oh on Netgalley. I never expect for NetGalley to actually accept any of my requests, so you can imagine the utter delight I felt when I received an email saying that my request had been accepted and my shiny new ARC was waiting for me in… Continue reading ASAP by Axie Oh // A Book Review
Hello, my voyagers. I'm so honored to be part of another one of Nadine Brandes's cover reveals. Back in 2022, I helped reveal the cover of her fantasy novel, Wishtress, and now I get to scream about her upcoming science fiction novel, The Nightmare Virus. If you haven't heard anything about this book yet, start… Continue reading The Nightmare Virus by Nadine Brandes // A Cover Reveal
I've always been a big believer that we find the books we need when we need them. I talked a lot more about this idea in this post, but it's one of the things that makes reading so special. Sometimes we have to read books that we don't want to read. School has required reading… Continue reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky // A Book Review
I don't think 2023 was what anybody expected. I think that everyone thought 2023 would bring renewal, revival, fresh starts, clean slates, and a breath of new air after the last few years of utter chaos. I think we all dreamed that 2023 would be the year we finally broke our bad habits, stopped letting… Continue reading Here’s to 2024 // Some Thoughts About the New Year
