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.

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...

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
