So, I am currently about halfway into my first semester back in college and I realize I haven't really given you any updates on my college and classes. This is mostly because I've been so busy. This week is especially tough, as midterms are here and I've been lacking sleep for the last couple weeks. … Continue reading Midterms and Sanity: College/Life Updates

Book Haul: #3
You might be asking yourself: didn't I just post a book haul last month? And the answer is: yes, I did. I'm pretty sure I go to the Goodwill and buy books as a coping mechanism against stress from college. Most college students buy Starbucks or go out partying, but I buy books...it's a problem … Continue reading Book Haul: #3
Book Review: Pet Sematary by Stephen King
This is the third (or possibly more) book by Stephen King I have attempted to read, following The Shining and It. I was able to finish neither of them, DNFing both of them (The Shining was too frusterating, and It was too slow-moving). My point is, I don't have the best track record with Stephen … Continue reading Book Review: Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
I thought this book was a bad idea to read during October, because I'm trying to read mostly horror books, but little did I know how horrific this book would be. I read this book because it's on pretty much every list of top books to read in your lifetime. In fact, I accidentally put … Continue reading Book Review: Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

A Poem for Fall…
I don't have a review for you today, so I'll probably just write two reviews next week. But I didn't want to leave you with no post today, so instead I'm going to share one of my favorite poems about fall by Emily Dickinson. I just love every poem I have read of hers, and … Continue reading A Poem for Fall…
The Translated Literature Tag
A few months ago, Diana from Writings on Papyrus created this tag and I knew it was right up my alley. Be sure to check out her blog, because I absolutely love her analysis of all the books she reads. I read so many translated books, especially in the last couple years, so I thought … Continue reading The Translated Literature Tag
Book Review: The Motion of Puppets by Keith Donohue
As it is the beginning of October, I'm trying to read mostly horror/Halloween-themed books this month. And this one is the first one I read. Honestly, the only reason I read it was because it has a cool cover...I maybe need to analyze my decisions more. It turned out to be better than I was … Continue reading Book Review: The Motion of Puppets by Keith Donohue
Reading Wrap-up: August, 2019
I'm surprised how many books I read this month, with how busy I am with school. Most of the books I've been reading are in the audiobook format, and I find it astonishing just how many audiobooks I can listen to just while I'm driving to school or doing other things. In total, I read … Continue reading Reading Wrap-up: August, 2019
Things I Do While Listening to an Audiobook
Since starting college, I've found myself shifting from reading mostly actual books and kindle to audiobooks. I never thought I would get into audiobooks so much, but it enables me to digest a story while doing other things. It's such a positive way to still be able to read even when you're busy, because instead … Continue reading Things I Do While Listening to an Audiobook
