we're all mad here
It wasn’t a great month, but it wasn’t a terrible one, either. ICYMI, I’m taking a break for the month of August. I’ll still be blog hopping and present in the community, but I won’t be posting anything. I’m hoping to settle into a rhythm with reading again because, while I did finally get my…

Much like last week, I’m feeling some kind of way lately, which is going to resolve itself next week in a summer break, but, until then, we’re doing another tag! Once again, thank you to Zezee with Books for their amazing collection of book tags, which has kept me afloat these past couple of weeks.…

There are very few books that I’ve actually read in one sitting, and only one of those is an actual in one sitting one. Truthfully, I’ve only read a book in a single day, not counting graphic novels, twice, and that’s The Wicker King and Bad Call. The first, I returned to repeatedly over the…

Who even am I? When I was in high school, the only thing I would consider writing outside of fanfiction was high fantasy. If it didn’t have dragons in it, I didn’t see the point.

Well, this should be interesting. This might seem like a weird time for a check-in. We’re past the halfway mark of the year and not yet at my normal quarterly check-in for September. But this is not an overall goals check-in, rather just one to see where I’m at with writing. I haven’t been talking…

This is somehow going to be the hardest That Artsy Reader Girl topic ever. It shouldn’t be because there are so many reasons why I love reading, but that’s it right there, that’s why it’s the hardest. How do you narrow down something so monumental into ten reasons? And they’re definitely not going to be…

This could just be blatantly calling out every duology that’s been turned into a trilogy, but I’m labeling it as a #marywrites because I have some writing-specific thoughts, y’all. However, yes, I am going to say outright that I’m thinking about Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin, and it is 100% the reason for why…

Did I seriously make a full reading schedule for myself this month? YOU BETCHA. I had twenty books on my Pride TBR, and to read all of them would mean five books a week, which was, frankly, stupidly unfeasible, and I don’t know what I was thinking, except that I did not expect this to…

Yes, everyone in the world is doing this tag right now, and it definitely gave me a mid-year complete panic when I was looking through others, which of course meant that I had to share that panic with you! I’ve seen a lot of people do it, but the most recent one (at the time…
