Hey guys, and welcome back to another book post. Today I'm going to share with you all the books I read in December. Honestly, I'm always shocked by how much reading I get done some months. I had two main goals this month, get as far into the Throne of Glass series as I can and catch up on the...

What are my biggest challenges?

I have had a blog since December of 2016, and have never joined in on Bloganuary. I honestly didn't know it existed until it popped up on my dashboard this morning. I wasn't planning on writing a post today, just catch up on some of my favorites' posts (here, here, here). I don't know how consistent I will be with...

The Maine If you're new here, then you don't know about my love for The Maine. It's an alternative band that I've liked since I was 15 (back in 2008-2009). It's kinda cool that the music they continue to release is good as well. I've seen them 3 times (including this time), and I just love them! This concert was...

Happy Fridaze! I'm pretty proud of how consistent I've been posting on here, and it's been fun! I remember when I first started blogging back in late 2016 I was obsessed with the amount of views I got, and while it's still nice to see people are reading your blog, it's just not that important to me anymore. I genuinely...

What I read in November 2023

This month flew by, and honestly, I don't think I got much reading done. It took me forever to finish ACOSF, and even though the book itself was amazing, it was very daunting to go into it knowing how long it was. In total I read 4 books, which is much less than my usual months (I average out at...

Thanksgiving Thanksgiving was last week, and it's one of my favorite holidays of the year, cause of the food. Me and J spent the morning together at our apartment, and then each went to...

a day of gratitude | 2023

Here in the United States, it's Thanksgiving. Yes, it's a day of family, friends, and delicious food. But it's also a day to sit down for a moment and reflect on the things you are grateful for. While I consistently write down the things that I'm grateful for in my bullet journal, and I even used to do a monthly...
