Why I Started This Blog

Reading and writing are my two great loves and I especially love reading about girls. I also feel that girls don't appear enough in popular media. I've loved books all my life and one of my favorite things is sharing the books I love with other people. I'm also hoping that young girls find this blog and that I can make it easier for them to find characters they can relate to. I also hope to write about a wide range of books and characters and help readers see a point of view they might not have seen before.

I want this blog to start a discussion between me and my readers about the ways girls are represented in books and so I want my readers to feel free to comment on any of my posts.

I'll be posting my first review soon.

Spring Reads 2019

I'm coming up to the end of my semester which is a relief. The most exciting part is that I'll finally have time to read! I'm also planning on finally playing some of the video games that the Internet and my boyfriend have been telling me to play for forever.  I thought I would share with y'all the books I'm most looking forward to reading as soon as my exams are over.  Also, for the sake of transparency, the links in this post are affiliate links to Amazon. These don't change the price for you, but I do get a percentage of the cost of anything you buy through the link. It would be great if you used these links, but please feel free to buy these books however you want or get them at your local library.  I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver May 28, 2019 Buy from Amazon When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husb...

I Forgot How to Write

                                    Photo by  NeONBRAND  on  Unsplash In high school, I studied Creative Writing. This entailed writing and reading and talking about writing for three hours every day. After graduation, I purposefully took a break from writing. I still loved it, but I was so spent. I needed to give my brain room to breathe. That's part of why I'm not majoring in English or writing even though I love both subjects. I love psychology just as much and I wanted to learn new things. So for a while I didn't write anything for myself. I've never read as much as the year in like tenth grade where I read 108 books. Even after I graduated high school and had more time on my hands. I started working a lot and have never had that same time and I've also picked up new activities (gaming, knitting, watching things I never got to living in the woods) that take up time that could ...

Books Are Expensive

I've always been someone who buys a lot of books. But I'm also still not able to buy as many books as I'd like to. Usually I'll get some money or have a gift card and buy a bunch and then not be able to buy any for a long time. I'll buy a book here or there from Amazon, but mostly that's it. I'm not constantly going to the bookstore the way other book bloggers always seem to. One reason for this is the fact that I live about an hour from the nearest book store.  Books can also be pretty expensive. Luckily YA books are generally cheaper than, say, literary fiction. This weekend, I went to the bookstore and picked up Lady Midnight  by Cassandra Clare. Normally YA hardbacks are about $18. It was only after I'd gotten to the register that I realized Lady Midnight is for some reason $25. I still bought it because I wanted to review it, but I almost didn't have enough money. This is why you haven't seen me doing any book hauls. I just don't hav...
