TTT: Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By

July 7, 2020.Reading time 13 minutes.

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic for TTT is one of my favorites. I wrote a post a million years ago about my auto-buy authors, and while I could go scroll pack in my posts to try to find it, I’m not because that would take forever, so let’s consider this a kind of […]

#marywrites: The Dreaded Query

July 6, 2020.Reading time 22 minutes.

Is the fact that I’ve been avoiding writing this particular post in the #marywrites series indicative of the subject? YES. 50% of this meme is me wanting to shout about LOTR because I saw someone with the most badass Witch-king tattoo the other day, but I was too busy gaping in awe at it to […]

June Wrap-Up

July 3, 2020.Reading time 50 minutes.

Unholy Satan, this is such a long wrap-up post, I am actually a little sorry. Like, this is bananas. It goes on forever. I did a lot of all of the things this month, and though it started out pretty rough, plus stayed that way for a while, the end has given me a lot […]

Character Spotlight: Shri

July 1, 2020.Reading time 19 minutes.

Character Spotlights were a weekly Wednesday series where I used to talk about characters from the novels I was working on or had already completed, but they kind of fell by the wayside, as these things do sometimes. I’m not actually bringing them back weekly, but I’d like to bring them back semi-regularly because they were a […]

TTT: Most Anticipated Book Releases for the Second Half of 2020

June 30, 2020.Reading time 10 minutes.

IT’S THAT TIME! We back with another anticipated book release. If you’re curious for whatever reason what I was looking forward to earlier this year, here you go. As before, these are listed in order of publication, and the way I do this list is with books I’ve already preordered, not just books I’m interested […]

#marywrites: Revision

June 29, 2020.Reading time 22 minutes.

Oh, revision. The thing we writers always dread, and the thing I look forward to the most. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I think revising is a boat load of fun, and I’m going to try to break that down in this post. We’re also going to talk about what revision actually is, […]

TAG: Mid-Year Freakout!

June 25, 2020.Reading time 17 minutes.

I don’t know if I would call this a “freakout” since I’m feeling pretty chill about my reading this year. It’s definitely way down as compared to usual, but I’ve found a steady rhythm that works for me this year. At the time of this being drafted, I’ve read 50 books (WOOOOOOO), which means I’m […]

Bookshelf Tour: Middle Grade & Classic

June 24, 2020.Reading time 10 minutes.

Welcome to the bookshelf tour! Previously: Nonfiction | Buddhism & Yoga | Poetry & Adult Fiction | Adult Fiction & Graphic Novels | Horror & Classics | Tolkien | Contemporary Romance | Middle Grade. ICYMI, since I’m not on Booktube, and never will be, I wanted to travel through my shelves on a biweekly adventure on the blog. Since these are going to be pretty long, I won’t […]

TTT: Favorite LGBTQIA+ Movies/TV Shows

June 23, 2020.Reading time 15 minutes.

We’ve talked about so many lovely things this month! I was going to say that I wish we had time to also talk about my favorite LGBTQIA+ characters, and then I remembered that every day can be a queer day, so I’ll just save that for later. Alas, this is the last queer-specific TTT post […]
