Noel Wraps Up May!


How was everyone's May?? I know it started to get warm in some places, and in others, they were dying of heat- so I hope you're all doing alright! I personally love every season- except for summer. (I know, it's odd.)

 I'm terrified about the end of May and the beginning of June, because my poetry collection, The Poet of The Heart, comes out June 20th!
I know that poetry collections don't tend to do very well, so I don't have a lot of expectations for the book (as weird as that is to hear from a writer). Mostly it's just something I wanted to share with others that have a love for poetry and symbolism with words.


For those who are wondering, I am now in the Final Draft of my sci-fi novel and will be contacting my editor and Beta Readers for their thoughts and opinions on some things soon. Depending on how long the last draft takes. 😅


But anywhoo~ here's the wrap up for the month of May!

~ Other Updates + Up Next ~


I have a few more book reviews to catch up on for you guys in June and an anime discussion I promised but besides that...

  • I set up a Patreon for my BookTube Channel!!
  • I lost the fight to save money and not buy books... I ended up getting a stack of new books (which I shared on Instagram) 💙
  • I've decided to continue both my blog and my YouTube channel instead of just one (I'd been debating letting the YouTube go.)
  • I'm trying to finish any previous writing I had on my Wattpad before my book comes out, so I can officially be done with those projects!
  • I only have one week of my trip left, and then I'll be getting some library books to share my June TBR with you guys!
How was your May?? What all did you guys get to read? I hope you all are doing well!!

    I'm not a big fan of summer but I enjoy the other seasons! Weather wise next week looks pretty grim with lots of rain so I'll be staying cozy indoors I think! Good luck with the final draft of the book!

    It is so very hot here in Texas, and I hate it. I want to live somewhere much cooler! I like layers, haha. Good luck with your poetry collection!

      Yes!! I was born and raised in Oklahoma where there was snow and foilage, but now I live in a place that is literally only ever humidity, heat, and sunshine that blinds you :(
      I miss the place with snow lol

Library Love | 1st Post

Hi guys, so my friend Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? did a post that I thought was really cool and I would want to start doing. Basically whenever I go to the library, I share in a blog post what I got and hope to read! I think this is meant to be like once every two or three weeks, but I actually only get to go to my library probably once a month... SO.... yeah haha. But whenever I do go, from now on I'll be doing a little blog post for you guys! :D                  ~             ~             ~             ~               ~                ~ So here's what I think they call a ''Library Book Haul''?

Scythe by Neal Shusterman | Review + Q & A

Hello lovely peoples! I have a book review to share with you, and at the bottom (after the review) will be a little Q & A section. Because my friend Desara also nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award, and I feel bad about not answering her questions- because I'd already done the tag when my friend Tessa nominated me. (That was a mouthfull, Lol.) So book review first! *         *         *        *         *   Scythe by Neal Shusterman!! Synopsis: Thou shalt kill. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequ...
