A Week in the Life

I've just finished my first week of my last year of high school. My week started with driving myself to school for the first time. I'd been driving a lot this summer, but it was still a really good feeling to have this added independence. The obvious downside is having to pay for gas... Later that day, I and eight of my Creative Writing classmates had to give advice to underclassmen in our department.

That was just one of the things that happened this week that reminded me that this year isn't going to be like any other, which I know sounds cliche, but it's true. This week was the beginning of my last year at home, and I couldn't be more excited for what's coming.

Things I've Been Loving This Week:

  • Mountain Dew - I know how terrible it is for me, believe me, but I still love it and I've been drinking a lot of it as I've been trying to get used to waking up early again.
  • Also, Kit Kats (this isn't all food, I promise)
  • Boyfriend jackets - My Calculus classroom is possibly the coldest room in the whole school
  • My teachers
  • Horse Loquela by Michelle Y. Burke
  • Dare Me by Megan Abbot

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...

Celebrating Female Authors: Post #1

I want part of this blog to be dedicated to celebrating authors who write about girls and do it well and I especially want to celebrate female authors who write about their fellow women. This is the first in a series of posts celebrating some of my favorite female authors. The first author I wanted to highlight is Sarah Rees Brennan. This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise since her novel Unspoken was the first book I reviewed for this blog. Part of what makes Sarah Rees Brennan's female characters stand out is the fact that there are so many of them. Despite the fact that her debut novel is told from the point of view of a male character, the majority of her work still focuses on the points of view of girls. Her first novel, The Demon's Lexicon , introduces the character of Mae who goes on to narrate one of the novels in the series. Another character in the series is Sin. The two girls are different but they are both strong characters who stand up for themselves...

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 ...
