Hello lovelies! I’ve yet again set myself a reading goal for the year. Last year I set the exact same goal and managed to read 17 books in all. While I didn’t meet my 25 books in 2021, I did read 17 and that is amazing! I’m quite proud of myself about that, especially seeing as I only read 3 books in 2020. But this year, I really would like…
So, I’ve decided to give myself a concise reading challenge this year. Don’t ask me why because I couldn’t tell you. I’m not very good at these reading challenges. I’ve tried them in the past and was never really successful at them. But for some reason, I feel like this year will be different. I really feel like I should follow that feeling. So naturally, the first thing I did…
I just wanted to pop on and share with you my writing journal for helping me write my story for NaNoWriMo this year. If you don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it happens every November. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a novel in a month or 50,000 words. I’ve attempted it a few times but never really “won” NaNoWriMo–the most I’ve written was 20,000…
BIG MAGIC BY ELIZABETH GILBERT (2015) ISBN: 9781408866740 “Do you have the courage? Do you have the courage to bring forth this work? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you will say yes.” So today I want to talk about creative living. I just finished this book–this really pretty book that I has taken me a year to read (terribly long story that involved a lot of traveling…
With the new year coming around, I’m hoping to make some changes in my life as well as this here blog. One of those changes is to read more. I don’t know what happened, but I’ve stopped reading. I read a total of one book this year and it wasn’t even a book, but a play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and that’s just pitiful. It used to be…
If you remember, at the start of the year I set an intention to read at least 25 books in 2015. Well, I’ve been trying my hardest to accomplish this. Last year, I didn’t really read as many books as I had hoped (though I did read more than I thought I did), so for this year, one of my goals is to “read read read.” I’ve been so busy…
Book Expo America 2015 ended this past Friday and as per usual, I volunteered again. Interestingly enough, I was really close to not going to the Expo this year. Volunteer spots filled up quickly this year and I was waitlisted for Autographing. As it turns out though, I was able to get a shift working the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. I had never worked that section…
Life By Committee By Corey Ann Haydu (2014) ISBN: 9780062294050 [su_note note_color=”#ffe8e8″ radius=”1″]Secret: I kissed someone else’s boyfriend. Assignment: Do it again. Like most who find Life by Committee, Tabitha is a little lost. Her best friend has ditched her, her Vermont town is feeling way too small, and she’s falling head over heels for a guy named Joe—who already has a girlfriend. Just when Tab is afraid she’ll burst from keeping…
DREAMLAND BY SARAH DESSEN (2004) ISBN: 9780142401750 [su_note note_color=”#ffe8e8″ radius=”1″]Ever since she started going out with Rogerson Biscoe, Caitlin seems to have fallen into a semiconscious dreamland where nothing is quite real. Rogerson is different from anyone Caitlin has ever known. He’s magnetic. He’s compelling. He’s dangerous. Being with him makes Caitlin forget about everything else–her missing sister, her withdrawn mother, her lackluster life. But what happens when being with Rogerson becomes…
I have seriously fallen off the reading bandwagon. In 2014 I read a total of 15 books…which isn’t that bad (I actually had to check my reading log for that number and I swear I thought I did much worse). But it could be better. I remember the days when I would read over 100 books a year! What happened to that girl? One of my intentions for this new…
Yep, I did it again. Volunteered for ALL THREE DAYS of the Book Expo floor show. I worked Autographing again and wow was this experience a bit different from last year’s! For one, it was easier but also a bit difficult. Easy in the sense that I was familiar with everything: the volunteer rules, how the autographing system worked, the layout of BEA at the Javits Center, etc. For the most…
If there’s one thing I’ve been trying to do more of this year is read. I didn’t do much reading last year, which is so unlike me. I can honestly say that all I did was watch TV, because that’s what I did everyday…watch TV. Too much TV. It got to the point where I knew by heart the TV schedule to my local ABC7 station. Bad, I say, really…
