Okay, so this is a little late as it is March already, but in my defence I wasn't planning to write a book trends report at all this year. Just be glad I changed my mind, eh? I've decided to add "YA" to the title this year, because those are the ones I follow most closely, … Continue reading 2016 YA Book Trends
I’m Back
I haven't been blogging all that much this past week, or the week before, but I have reasons! I spent the last week of February sick and feeling sorry for myself, and the first week of March getting over it and working on my ECP/dissertation/thesis. I'm done now, and I've printed it all off and had it … Continue reading I’m Back
Why You Should Avoid All Emails
Sequel to Why You Should Proofread Emails. Oh my god, will I never figure out this email thing? The first true story I ever put up on this blog was Why You Should Proofread Emails and while I haven't exactly repeated the mistakes of the past, I managed to mess up pretty big anyhow. Let's set … Continue reading Why You Should Avoid All Emails
An Extra Day
There's only so much you can do in a day, unfortunately. I've been feeling the pressure of all my assignments and the work that needs to be done in the time I have. Thankfully, February, the cruelest month, is being slightly nicer this year and giving us twenty-nine days instead of twenty-eight. And how am I … Continue reading An Extra Day
Hello Friends
I have nothing to be embarrassed about! ...right? As I've mentioned before, as part of one of our courses my classmates and I are required to make blogs. I don't know what that means for me, already having made this blog and keeping it up nicely, if I do say so myself. I'll find out next … Continue reading Hello Friends
Libraries Rock!
I got a library card today. Best. Day. Ever. This solves a lot of my recent problems. Can't afford a book? Can't bring it on the plane? Don't know if I'll like it? It's okay! I've got a library card! Libraries have upped their game since the last time I borrowed books. You can borrow … Continue reading Libraries Rock!
Blast: Friday Sep 20, 2013
I'm starting a new thing called Blasts (past+blogs=blasts It was either that or "pogs"). I'll find something I wrote before this blog existed and post it here. Just thinking about it, I think a lot of these will pass as blog posts, just older. So I was going through some old emails and found this … Continue reading Blast: Friday Sep 20, 2013
Visiting My Grandparents
Note: I wrote this on December 22nd, 2015 after a visit while I was home for the holidays. Being the holidays, I was busy and got distracted before I could put it up. I forgot about it until now, but here it is at last. It's just a short piece. Hope you like it. My grandfather should … Continue reading Visiting My Grandparents
I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
I NEED TO STOP BUYING BOOKS! My suitcase is going to be so heavy by the end of the semester that the airplane won't even be able to lift off the runway. But this time I swear I have a good reason! (I know I always say that, but I always do, ok?) This evening … Continue reading I Met Claire Fuller (Again)
Pumped!
I wouldn't say I'm homesick, but rather the complete opposite. I am sick of home. Which is weird because it's not like I've spent an excessive amount of time at home in the past three years. It doesn't seem to matter, though. The thought of having to return home come September makes me want to run … Continue reading Pumped!
