The Month of September and Dramatics | A Monthly Wrap-Up

I know that some of you are probably wondering why in the world I put dramatics for the month of September, well...   I can be a very dramatic person when I want to be, and that happened to describe how I felt most of the month. To put it simply I had a lot of ''life things'' going on and let's just say that sometimes, we have every right to be dramatic about at least one thing if it matters to us.   Such as when writing a novel -cough, cough- one can become very dramatic and protective over her first draft when someone tries to read it. *Hint hint* So while we go over the usual topics for my wrap ups, think about something dramatic that you experienced this month and remember that we all have our moments when we go feral like a wild animal- in which I discovered myself this month. ANYWAYS- Onto the post!! ~ Oh, For The Love Of Baking ~ A baked treat for you, a baked treat for me!   I was so surprised in my first Wrap-Up how many of you lov...

The Realms Series by Emory R. Frie | Wonderland and Neverland

I tend to go through Book Phases, and I usually want something specific.  Something to do with the plot, characters, or even a certain kind of retelling.  Think Robin Hood and Maid Marian retellings, or more recently I went through the Alice in Wonderland and Zombies phase. (It was an interesting book phase to say the least.) I'll have a video about that phase on YouTube soon BTW! Awhile ago, I wanted a fairytale mix-up. I wanted to read a book with Alice and the Mad Hatter, and Peter Pan and Wendy. I specifically wanted to read a book where fairytale characters met each other or got mixed up. (Harder to find than you would think.) Well, I found a selfpublished author that was releasing the first book in a fantasy series a few years ago. A series that was fairytale retellings.  Do any of you wonder what books are in my profile picture? Well the blue covered book, is Wonderland (Book 1 in the Realms Series) by Emory R. Frie . This book popped up, and...

Starfall by R. M. Anderson

 *I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Title: Starfall Author: R. M. Anderson Series: Book one in the Starfall Chronicles Published: July 10th, 2018 Genre: Fantasy [My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 Stars]   Synopsis:   Radianne Timblebrooke has grown bored with life as she knows it and aches for something more: Adventure, a path of her own, and... maybe... even true love? On one fateful evening, a blinding light falls into her world and changes it all, bringing the adventure she longed for and much more. In a race against time to the stars, Radianne discovers beauty, love, strength, and a force that threatens to cover her world in shadows.

If you want a fantasy and adventure- this book is what you want. Giant ladybugs, dangerous terrains that were so unique, ...

Favorite Writing Memes | A Writer's Paradise

Okay, so I know a lot of people that love to write and are also writing a novel/book series. Now I personally love to look at writing memes (when I'm not writing or reading), and a lot of them are true for me. Like very, uncomfortably true. So if you guys write, like to write, or even if you don't- let's look at some writing memes together! For those who do write, you'll be surprised how accurate these are. For those who don't write, you're missing out on coffee addictions and all-nighters in which you try to finish a novel. (Doesn't that sound so appealing?! I'm being sarcastic by the way...) So onto those memes! YEP, this is what it's like going back to look at your old writing or even a chapter you did a couple months ago.... Okay, first I love this series. My whole family does. And whenever someone picks up my first draft I come running and (depending on who they are) I usually body slam them to get it away from th...

Back 2 School Book Tag!

Ah, it feels so nice to just sit down for an hour or two with no one to bother me and just update the blog for you guys. Or read, or write- though it'll be gone far too quickly to get more than a few things done I'm sure. I've got a quick book tag for y'all! I know I could've done it for my BookTube Channel, however I had quite a bit going on and was extremely lucky to get done as many as I did. I also have lots of videos to do still, so it'll be easier to just do a blog post honestly! Some of us are in school, some of us are in college- or going to be, and some of us are so glad we don't have to do that crap anymore (though sometimes do miss it). This is going to be the BACK TO SCHOOL BOOK TAG!! First, I was tagged by the awesome Abigail @ What Makes A Good Book so thank you very much Abigail! 1. Fresh new outfit —Book with best dressed characters I had to pick the Ruby Red trilogy by Keirsten Gier - it's freaking time travel of course ...
