So, apparently there is a thing on Booktube (YouTube for books) called Tome Topple. It takes place from Nov. 16th to Nov. 29th. For more information, here's a link to the original video. Now, I love the idea of this challenge of reading only books over 500 pages. However, I didn't like the time limit … Continue reading 5 Weeks, 5 Tomes Challenge

Reasons Why I’m Quitting NaNoWriMo
So...I've been doing a lot of thinking this month. Both about the book I'm writing this year and my past experiences with NaNo, and I have come to the logical conclusion that NaNoWriMo isn't for me. Here are the four reasons why. 1. Inability To Process I am an introspective person. I think...a lot. It's … Continue reading Reasons Why I’m Quitting NaNoWriMo
End of Year Book Tag 2018
I saw this tag yesterday on Lucy and A Cup Full of Tea. If you don’t know about her blog, I recommend you check it out! I have a lot of fun to read. Anyway, she did this tag and it looked like fun. So here I am doing it, both because it looked interesting … Continue reading End of Year Book Tag 2018
Movie Review: Bel Canto (2018)
I just got the book this movie is based on at the library and I thought I should watch/read both around the same time. I saw a trailer for this movie earlier this year, and it really intrigued me. I’ve also read some pretty positive reviews of the book from fellow bloggers. But, in this … Continue reading Movie Review: Bel Canto (2018)

NaNoWriMo 2018 Update: Day 8
We are a little over a week into NaNo. My writing has been going...okay. It isn't as good as previous NaNoWriMo's have been, but it also isn't horrible. I'm behind, but not too far behind. Here are my daily updates since Day 3. Day 4: Chapter 2 - 0 words Day 5: Chapter 2 - … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 Update: Day 8
Book Review: I was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon
I love the story of Anastasia. Since I was a child watching the 1997 animated musical of the same name, I’ve been fascinated by both Russian history and the tragic story of Anastasia. I’ve watched multiple movies and read several books on the topic. For those who are unfamiliar with the topic, Anastasia was the … Continue reading Book Review: I was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon
NaNoWriMo Book Tag
In the spirit of NaNoWriMo (since it is the beginning of November), I thought I would do a book tag revolving around the theme of National Novel Writing Month. And I found one posted a couple years ago on Youtube by Kristina Horner. 1. How many times have you done NaNoWriMo? Technically, two. I'm not … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Book Tag
NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 4 Update
We are four days into NaNoWriMo. Gosh, this month I seem to be so undisciplined when it comes to writing. I'll write a lot one day, and just skip writing the next day. I'm also not calculating how many words I should be writing each day. Math and me just do not care for each … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018: Day 4 Update
Reading Wrap-up October, 2018
I can't believe Spooktober has ended, and NaNoWriMo is in full swing. I usually do this wrap-up at the end of the month, but I was just too busy with other posts. So you're getting it a few days late, but as I always say, better late than never. This last month I read five … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up October, 2018
