A Week in the Life 2nd Edition

I know my last post was a Week in the Life post too, but don’t worry. We’ll be getting back to regular book reviews soon, I promise.

I wanted to write this post looking toward the week to come instead of looking back at the one I just finished because last week was a mess for me. I was sick in addition to having a lot going on at school and there were a lot of other, more personal things that I’m not going to get into because they’re not interesting to anyone but me.

I’ve already started completing my college applications but this week marks when I need to get even more serious about them because I’m applying Early Action to several colleges and those applications are due in just over a month. Specifically, I need to start asking teachers for recommendations and drafting all my essays. Are any of you applying this year or next year? Are any of you currently in university? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments.

Book of the Week: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Adieh. I just started it yesterday but you can expect a review soon.

Soundtrack of the Week: Badlands by Halsey If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out.

If you have any recommendations or requests for me, let me know!

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 ...

2017 Favorites

This is going to be a round up of my favorite books, shows, and just general things of the year. I'm also going to include some of my hopes and goals for 2018. Favorite Books of the Year The Star-Touched Queen by Roshani Chokshi This book was inspired by Hindu stories and tells the story of Maya who has been cursed by a bad horoscope her whole life. When she's 17, her father finally finds someone who is willing to marry her and she is whisked away to a kingdom like no other she has ever seen before. The immediate description I think for this book is that it is absolutely beautifully written. The prose is gorgeously lyrical and richly written. Reading this book is a sensory experience like no other. I'm not someone who generally visualizes things as I was reading because that's not the way I think, but the details in this book were so beautiful and rich that I couldn't help but appreciate...

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.
