This blog has been abandoned

Like a leaking ship

Fled by rats.

I was writing in imitation,

Not for myself

And thus punched holes in my creation.

The water poured in

And the rats are swimming for shore.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Winter 2024-25 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's prompt is "Books on My Winter 2024-2025 To-read List". There were three books from my fall list that I didn't manage to read at all: Splintered , The Wrath and the Dawn , and Peter Darling . I'm currently reading Tress of the Emerald Sea . All in all, I did better than I thought! Half of the books on my winter TBR are Christmas/winter-themed, and there are only two fantasies on the entire list! All covers are linked to Goodreads. Here we go, in no particular order: 1. Three Holidays and a Wedding , by Uzma Jalaluddin & Melissa Stapley Genre: Romance "As strangers and seatmates Maryam Aziz and Anna Gibson fly to Toronto over the holidays—Maryam to her sister’s impromptu wedding, and Anna to meet her boyfriend’s wealthy family for the first time—neither expect that severe turbulence will scare them into confessing their deepest hopes and fears to one another. At least they’...

Top Ten Tuesday: Classics That Have Been on My TBR for Way Too Long

Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl . This week's prompt is "Oldest (aka Earliest Published) Books On My TBR", but I'm tweaking it a bit to "Classics That Have Been on My TBR for Way Too Long". I've read a lot of classics, both for school and for fun, but there are still so many I haven't read! I'm using this Top Ten Tuesday topic as an opportunity to gather these classics scattered across my TBR list and challenge myself to read them soon! I have organized this list in order of most recent to oldest published. All covers are linked to Goodreads. 1. Watership Down , by Richard Adams (1972) "Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of friends, they journey forth from their native Sandle...

Thanksgiving Post + Writing Update

Last year, I did a post about why I'm grateful for books . Those reasons have stayed largely the same, so I don't feel the need to do another such post. I thought about doing a post listing the specific books I've read this year that I'm most grateful for, but those are basically just my favorites, and I'll be listing them in my 2024 Reading Wrap-up. So instead, we're going to make this a writing post! First of all, here are a few writing-related things I'm grateful for this year: 1. The Washington Writers Conference I went to back in May! You can read my post about the conference here . I loved it so much that I'm planning on going again next year, and I'm hoping to bring a couple friends along this time! I really think that this experience helped me become more disciplined as a writer. 2. The FreeWyrd writers group, which I also started attending in May. A few weeks after the writers conference, I started attending a writers group at a bookstore c...
