September 2021 wrap up and October goals

Published on by Aria5 Comments

Hello, and happy Friday!! It’s October, which is my favorite month of the year for many reasons: it’s fall, the leaves are changing, and it overall is beautiful outside. Halloween of course happens, and October is also… my birthday month!!

I somehow turn fifteen in just over two weeks, which is crazy to me. This past year has really gone by so fast. And so has this month. I’m going to go from here into my wrap up of September, and my goals for October.

WWW Wednesday 57

Published on by Aria1 Comment

Hello, and happy Wednesday! We’re just a couple days away from October, which is crazy and a little scary to me as well. We’re so far through the year, and I don’t know how it’s already October. My birthday is just a couple weeks away, which I’m excited for but also is so, so soon.

Anyways, I have a quick little reading update to share with you. I haven’t had too much time to read this past week, but I finished one book and started a couple others so I’m just going to dive straight into the post.

A Psalm for the Wild Built, by Becky Chambers | a beautifully written hopeful novel about friendship and the future

Published on by Aria3 Comments

Hello! I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend. I recently read A Psalm for the Wild Built, by Becky Chambers which I absolutely loved, and I’m so excited to share my thoughts on it. It’s quite different from what I usually read, and this review is the first I’ve done for a book that wasn’t a review copy, but I really wanted to write this review, so here we are!!

I don’t have much to say in this intro, so I’m going to dive into my thoughts on this amazing book!

Let’s Talk Bookish: Prologues and Epilogues

Published on by Aria1 Comment

Hello, and happy Friday!! This week’s been really busy, as my second full week of the school year, but overall it’s been pretty good. I’ve read an okay amount, though I’ll hopefully have more time to over the weekend. Today I actually had my library volunteer orientation, which was so exciting! I also went to my high school’s writing club today at lunch. This was the second meeting, and it was so fun!! We had a prompt and wrote short stories, and I really like how mine turned out. I might try sharing it, or one of my other short stories here sometime. I wrote a lot over the summer, a few that I’m pretty proud of!!

Anyways, this week’s LTB topic is a choose your own adventure, so I decided to go back to a pretty old topic, one that I started to write back in July, and then just let sit in my drafts for a couple months. The topic I’m going to be doing today is: prologues vs. epilogues: are they necessary? (suggested by Fives @ Down the Rabbit Hole))

Let’s Talk Bookish: What makes a book a five star read?

Published on by Aria10 Comments

Hello, and happy Friday! Today, I’m going back to an old topic I missed for this post: What makes a book a five star read? I wrote most of this post back in July when it was supposed to have come out, but I never finished it. So, it sat around in my drafts until today, when I didn’t have the time for a full post but really really wanted to publish one! (This is literally the smartest thing I’ve ever done in my blogging career, and I honestly should do it more. Having mostly finished posts for days I’ve planned to post and just don’t have the time.) So, I’m going to get into the post!!

Hello, and happy Wednesday! Since my last WWW post, I’ve: started high school, had way too much homework, and somehow, read more in the last seven days than I have in any given week in a very long time. Most of this is thanks to my school library which I’ve gone to a bunch of times. It’s really amazing, and there’s a fantastic selection of books. Anyways, lets get into this little reading update!!

LGBTQ+ books I read this summer

Published on by Aria7 Comments

Hi!! Today I have a list of all of the LGBTQ+ books I read this summer! There are 11 in total, and I’m so excited to share my thoughts on them all with you! Two are rereads, but the rest are new, and I think that I’ve done a good job this summer in trying to read lots of books with LGBTQ+ rep!!

Also, these all have queer main characters, and those are the ones I wanted to include. I have read lots of other books with LGBTQ+ side characters, and I do want to point that out too.

Anyways, I read a ton of amazing books this summer, and I do recommend all of these, so you can take this as a wrap up and as a queer books recommendations post. I did prefer some of the books more than others though, so you can read about all of my thoughts on them below! So, let’s get into the post!

Let’s Talk Bookish: Keeping books safe

Published on by Aria5 Comments

Hello, and happy Friday!! It’s only been two days since my last post, but a lot has happened: I started high school! My orientation and walk through of classes was on Thursday, and today was my first full day. I didn’t do much, mostly just getting to know teachers, and getting a syllabus for each class, but I think it went pretty well!

The school is so much bigger than my middle school though, and it’s very easy to get lost. I think that I’m sort of getting the hang of everything though (I hope!!).

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly discussion post created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Rukky and Dani @ A Literary Lion! This week’s topic is PETS/CHILDREN & BOOKS, (suggested by Dani!)

I just went for more generally how I take care of physical books, so that’s what this post is going to be about!!
