we're all mad here
The what are you reading Wednesday posts are hosted by Taking on a World of Words! Yes, I did skip both a WWW and TT last week, but I just did not have it in me. The WWW would have literally been a copy and paste from the week prior because I did so little reading while traveling…

I am a very predictable person. This has been well-documented, and it is absolutely not at all shocking when I start writing a new book, and my friends always ask, “So who’s the baker?” There are just always going to be some staples that thread themselves throughout all of my books. But it was starting…

Real talk, I read almost no books while on vacation. I think I read one? This is my shortest wrap-up ever not just because of the books, but also because I watched nothing, and I’m just going to link my Portugal posts in my life section, so uhhhhh, hello and goodbye in about four seconds?…

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic was actually a bit harder than I was expecting, though I think that’s mostly because I kept fighting with myself on adjective vs adverb. I’m not a huge fan of grammar, if we’re being honest, and I’ve been called out on it a lot in my own writing,…

The what are you reading Wednesday posts are hosted by Taking on a World of Words! Gonna be real, this past week was rough.

It was originally created by The Infinite Library, and given that I’m a huge fan of most tropes, I’m really excited about…

The what are you reading Wednesday posts are hosted by Taking on a World of Words! And shout-out this week to Kim @ Traveling in Books because I love the way she titles her Sunday Sum-Up posts, and I know that’s such a small thing, but it just looks neat and organized, and I’m taking…

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic was one that I immediately knew which trope I was using because truly what is better than friends to lovers? Sure, enemies to lovers is great, there’s a fantastic level of angst going on there, but friends to lovers is my jam. It’s also almost primarily what I…

I honestly can’t remember with who, but I was talking with someone about authors contextualizing their books with dates. Like, you crack open a book, and, right at the top of chapter one, it says something like autumn 2009. The other person was not a fan, which I totally understand, but it got me thinking,…
