Yes, you heard it right here, folks: I am the champion of the world!!! (Yep, that’s right, the Queen song has been going through my head ever since I hit that little Validate button on the NaNo site.) Okay, so that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but I am seriously SO excited that I hit my 50,000 word goal today, two days early. AND I have a nearly finished first draft […]

I thought I’d participate in The Thanks U Give, which is being hosted by Chasing Faerytales and Stay Bookish. It’s a sort of bookish Thanksgiving celebration, and there are so many bookish things to be thankful for! Make sure you head over to the main post to enter the giveaway, because HarperCollins was generous enough to sponsor!

How has the entire world not recognized Neal Shusterman’s genius? Seriously, I am SO hoping that the Unwind movie comes out (I haven’t seen any news since May!!) and that it does the series justice because people need to talk about his books more. Scythe is one more example of Shusterman’s talent and imagination and his ability to shed light on humanity’s moral triumphs and shortcomings. Once again, he takes a look at a dystopian […]

For an introduction to my novel and to find out what it’s about, click here […]

Last week on FYFA (and in my life): I know it’s been sparse around here, guys. I have to confess that I’m not doing well after Tuesday’s elections—like, I cry at least three […]
This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and it lived up to every single one of my expectations! I loved every delightful Wonderland reference, and I was incredibly intrigued to find out how Meyer imagined sweet Catherine would turn into the despicable Queen of Hearts! What Fed My Addiction: Catherine’s transformation. When the book starts out, Catherine is an incredibly sympathetic character. It’s hard to imagine how this sweet girl who dreams of […]
