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....

Life Update – Grief and Moving Forward
I’m going to try to keep this rather short, as I’d like to not dwell on the past year. You have to focus on moving forward and all that. About 7 or 8 months ago, right as I was beginning to draft and rework things for the blog my husband I found out we were... Continue Reading →
Gaming Weekends – In which I gush (just a little) about D&D.
It's back! Two years? Three years? It's been a long time since I've talked in depth on the blog about my games. Occasionally I've posted about what I'm playing or planning but it's been years since I did a weekly post about my games and thoughts. I have a lot of those as I'm trying... Continue Reading →
Looking Forward Too…
We skipped last week’s installment of Looking Forward Too unfortunately. Our home AC unit decided it needed some attention and the bulk of the weekend/any free time I had was spent in our basement tending to it. That’s a real shame too as this week was a great mail week, so I want to... Continue Reading →
A Short Weekly Wrap-up and a Chat!
Last week was less of a dud week and more of an ‘outside forces are affecting my reading’ week. I DNF’d three books, one because I was not enjoying it and two were just wrong time kind of reads. So ultimately I finished one thing. As always a video is up if you’d rather read... Continue Reading →
2017 Reading Goals – Challenges
So my next goal of ‘things to read’ are two challenges I want to complete. And I’m hoping that I’ll be able to complete these challenges with books from my other two goals! So two birds with one stone! First off I’ll say I’m starting but definitely not finishing The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo Approaches! Tips and Tricks!
I think it’s safe to say at this point I’ve gotten ‘pretty okay’ at the event. I’ve been registered on their site since 2012, though I didn’t actually participate that year, and have won every year but that first one. I’ve also participated in Camp NaNoWriMo every camp since July 2014 and won every... Continue Reading →
Reviewing and Star Ratings
I've been thinking over this system that seems to have been adopted to review books and decided to do a quick look at how I rate things. I've always rated by my gut. As soon as I finish things I picked the number that most accurately reflected my thoughts at that moment. This makes for... Continue Reading →
Small General Update on Things
I have got two small updates for the blog, one good and one not-so-good. Good! I have made a Litsy account! I'm really digging the app, it's like Instagram meets Goodreads. I'm on there under Sarrie. I'm always looking for new people to follow and interact with so look me up! Not so good I... Continue Reading →
Ink! But of a Different Variety!
Soooo... I like tattoos. I don't know if this is news to anyone here but I'm a big fan of them in general. I love art in general, it's something that can bewitch me easily. So art on skin? That you keep with you forever? Hells yes. Please and thank you. My Mom and I... Continue Reading →
