A Reading Journal
Another installment! Look at me go! Just a mix this time, articles, books, and research ideas. An article I really found interesting over on Book Riot talked about how the New Hunger Games Novel helped the author realize how she's almost aged out of some of YA tropes - something I intensely agree and feel....

I knew next to nothing about Buddhism. Pretty much the base level of pop-culture references plus a few fly-away facts I'd picked up while studying Japanese in college. One afternoon while picking up my holds I broke my own library rules and browsed the new non-fiction releases shelf and grabbed this just for fun. Frankly,... Continue Reading →
A bit of a movement in independent publishing has attempted to bring different, diverse voices to fiction. It's there in traditional publishing, to mixed success, but it's gone wild in the indie world from what I have seen. This is a good example of that, to mixed success. The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen... Continue Reading →
The second half of August was far more successful than the first half! I read a bit of everything here. Some YA, Fantasy/SF, romance, non-fiction, and a classic novel.

This shouldn't be too long, even in two parts as I didn't have a TON to say about the books I read in August, which happens sometimes! The first part of August was definitely more on the 'meh' side of things unfortunately. The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang was good. I would say it's probably... Continue Reading →

Partially to continue to educate myself on difficult topics and partially because I after the lackluster month of June I knew I wanted some things to make me think and feel. I really read some great books because... Continue Reading →
Library haul! I'm trying to keep it small with these library hauls recently! Some shorter stuff and something from my long term TBR I'm finally getting to!
A stack of books for Mommy and Baby! A close up of each stack. I spent a grand total of 6 dollars. I wound up taking in about 80 dollars of credit, and I had another 30 saved from pre-baby, pre-pandemic.
So I firmly don’t believe my voice should be used to silence any voices that really matter in this topic. I’m also not very eloquent, many others are much better at this. As someone said online allies should be shields not swords. So we’ll just go ahead and make clear - this blog and writer... Continue Reading →
  The second half of April was just slow. I read quite a few graphic novels but the novel reading slowed down. For a few weeks in there I didn’t have a dedicated eReader, which honestly bummed me out (till my hubby treated me to a new one) and I just didn’t have a lot of... Continue Reading →
