Or, you know, holy text of your choice. I would’ve used ‘encyclopedia’ if the alliteration hadn’t been too tough to resist. One benefit to completing all of these awesome end of year book surveys was the chance to review all the books I’d finished last year. When I was perusing pages on Goodreads, trying to […]

Let me start off by saying that I spent most of 2014 trying to bring some stability back into my life. I settled into my job, got back into working out, and started really trying to manage some mental health issues. I found my way back into writing and being sociable again. There were rough

All credit goes to Jamie at the Perpetual Page Turner for the creation of this awesome survey. I’ve skipped over the blogging section to focus primarily on the books, but a full version of the survey is available on her blog. Hop on over if you’re eager to do your own literary year in review.

Here we go again! Just like yesterday, I’ve linked all book covers to their Goodreads pages. Day 2 — Popularity Contest Villain I Love to Hate There are plenty of YA villains I’ve wanted to punch in their smug, nasty faces every time they appear on the page, but Sable was the only one whose

And by sort of, what I mean to say is that I should be blogging more regularly from here on in. At least after the start of the New Year, anyway. I’m sorry that I’ve left this blog to wither for almost three months, but in my absence from blogging I’ve gotten a ton of

The first time I got serious about editing one of my own manuscripts, I had no idea what I was doing. In the two or so years that I revised and queried, I actually lost count of the number of different drafts saved on my computer. Part of my difficulty came from trying to figure

I’ve been a total failure at blogging for the better part of July. Work has been crazy and revisions are a massive time-suck, but the real reason I’ve been out of the internet loop is this: For the past eight days, I’ve been vacationing with family in the beautiful city of Vancouver. Though my dad

I’ve been writing book reviews on this blog since 2013, and I’ve stuck to my every-third-book schedule faithfully since then. However, you might have noticed that there haven’t been any new reviews posted for the last couple months, here or on my Goodreads. It isn’t that I’ve gotten lazy, or that I’ve been blasting through

I don’t remember how many times I’ve mentioned Amnesia Conspiracy on this blog in the last few months. Probably more than usual, since I was/still am participating in the YAB Spring Boot Camp and regularly updating my progress.
