Let's Have a Drink


Hello Lovelies!

So, a while back, Jamie at Perpetual Page-Turner wrote one of these posts, and I felt the need to write one tonight. So grab your own drink of choice (I'm not going to lie, I don't have coffee. I have Cranberry Sprite), and let's have a little chat.

If we were having drinks... I'd tell you how crummy I feel. I think I'm getting sick, and my entire body hurts. So it's probably safer that we're having drinks separately. 

If we were having drinks... I'd tell you how stressed I am about school. I may have underestimated how hard it was going to be to go back to school after two years. I'm the only person I know who is taking four classes too. Most other people are taking two or one. So I might be a little crazy. And I keep getting irritated with my classes because they expect high quality work but the prompts that are given make it difficult to provide that. I can read and participate in class, but when I go to write papers, it's like my brain shuts down. I get frustrated with myself.

If we were having drinks... I'd ask you if you knew what you were going to be doing with life or if you stumbled into it. I don't know if it's just my anxiety getting the best of me, but I'm questioning my life decisions now. I'm worried that I'm not going to get a job when I graduate. Or I'm worried that I won't find whatever job I do find fulfilling. I'm worried that I left all my friends behind for nothing.

If we were having drinks... I'd ask what you were loving lately. I need more joy in my life. Tell me about things you're passionate about, so I can feel the joy too!!

So lovelies, continue this conversation with me in the comments -- or on any other social media site! I love you all so much. Thanks for sticking around.

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu

Why Should I Trust You?

Hello Lovelies!! It's my finals week, so I'm going to make this one quick.  This week's Top Ten Tuesday (by the Broke and the Bookish ) allows us to fill in the blank! So I will be bringing you... The Top Ten Books with Characters Who are Unreliable Narrators (AKA BIG OL' LIARS). I love unreliable narrators because you never know if they're actually being unreliable or not. Occasionally they tell the truth, but occasionally they lie. So here we go... 1. Nothing by Janne Teller 2. Liar by Justine Larbalestier 3. Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman 4. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta 5. Don't Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout 6. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein 7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte 8. The Princess Bride by William Goldman 9. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas 10. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson Many of these books feature the unreliable characters as side characters and not main charac

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t
