Quick Update!

Hello, hello. As you may have noticed, I haven't posted anything last week or the week before. I've been caught up with school and work and even though I'm not posting, I sure am reading! So believe me, when I say I'm still trying to put in an effort. A few things that have happened lately:

  • I got put to work on the weekends at my job so I don't really have a full weekend day free for the blog anymore T^T. Hopefully this will change when I put in a new schedule, but it also might not because...
  • I'm working on an audition for my school's upcoming spring musical. As a theatre major, I really have to keep working on my craft and the best way to do that is to put myself out there and if I do get the job, to work at it because that's the only way I'll learn to become a better actor and performer!
  • I'm currently taking five classes (and for a college student like me that's a bit excessive), so having free time is really hard to find and when I do, I tend to hang out with my friends or do something besides sit around. 
  • And like I said in the previous bullet point, I've been spending a lot of time away from the computer. It's a nice change, but I'll definitely try to squeeze some time in. I really wish Blogger had a better mobile app or else I'd be posting a lot more frequently. 

There you have it. A quick wrap up of what's been going on recently and why I haven't really been posting anything. As of right now I have a review for Scarlet and Cress ready to be typed up (I wrote it in my notebook). I've made more progress in The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black.

 I've given up on Eleanor and Park. If you've seen my Twitter feed, you'll see how I'm very unimpressed and a little miffed about the writing in the book. I got about a third of the way through and stopped reading. I may make a different post about it, but for now, just know that I am not very fond of the book at all.

But I've just started All the Bright Places and I like how it's going so far, so hopefully I enjoy it more!

Sorry for not being so active lately, I'm really trying, but I feel like I'm juggling a hundred different things. Hopefully when the semester ends I'll have more free time. You'll probably see me making progress posts about my cosplays. I may put up a post about what I have planned.

I hope you guys have been having a great couple of weeks as well!

  1. I just read The Darkest Part of the Forest and lovedddd it. I did a review on my book tube channel. Can't wait to see what you think of it. Everyone seems to be reading All the Bright Places so I'm definitely going to have to check that one out!

  2. I am so jealous!!! It feels like I've been on the waiting list for The Darkest Part of the Forest FOREVER. My library has three copies, and two of them are over a month overdue. Sigh.

    I loved Eleanor and Park. It may be my favorite Rowell. I am definitely not YA. My daughter isn't even YA. I think the book made such an impact on me because it's set in the time period I was in High School and I could relate to Eleanor. Every book isn't for everybody, though.
