Out with the old, in with the new. But before that, let's take a short pause to do one more reading wrap-up of 2018. I only read 7 books in December, a lot less than I would have liked. I personally think had to do with just how busy I was with the holidays. Things … Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up: December, 2018

Wrapping Up 2018
The year is coming to an end, and while I will miss it, it's always encouraging to start a new year. This year nothing seemed to go right. Saying that, I have so enjoyed writing this blog and it's helped me in innumerable ways. Usually, I do I short reading wrap-up at the end of … Continue reading Wrapping Up 2018
My Favorite Asian Dramas of 2018
Since the year is coming to the close, I thought I could do some posts on my favorites of the year. And today we are starting off with my favorite dramas from Asia (China and Korea mostly). These won't be in any order, because all of them are good for their own reasons. Without too … Continue reading My Favorite Asian Dramas of 2018
Reading Wrap-Up: November, 2018
This month went...tolerably well. I'm still super behind with my 5 Week, 5 Tomes challenge, but I did read technically 8 books this months. I use the word 'technically' because three of them were crocheting books, which take only a fraction of the time to read. But they are still books, so I'm counting them. … Continue reading Reading Wrap-Up: November, 2018
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
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 1 (Thank you, readers!)
NaNoWriMo is starting! I'm super excited but mostly terrified. Thank you for everyone who voted yesterday in my poll. I was honestly surprised how many people voted for #2, Peppermint Poison with a Pinch of Paris (it finished with about 53% of the vote). It was definitely one I did not think many would choose. In … Continue reading NaNoWriMo, 2018: Day 1 (Thank you, readers!)
