Hi dreamers! So after this post I might go on a brief hiatus because there’s just been a lot going on in my life and I need to take several deep breaths. That on top of Camp NaNoWriMo coming next month (aka TOMORROW) I just need a breather and time to work on my writing. […]
Hi Dreamers! So today is going to be a tough post and I encourage anyone who is triggered by eating disorder talk or body image talk to stop reading now. I won’t be offended, I’ve been there and I’m here for you if you would like to reach out. I debated about making this post […]
Hi dreamers! I’m currently blogging from the Chicago airport waiting on a connecting flight back to Madison from my trip to Boston! I went home to see my family and see my baby sister graduate high school and I’m so tired now. But lets talk BDB. If you’re getting sick of reading about them, sorry […]
Content Warning: Violence, Drug use, alcohol use, and talk of sexual abuse. Hi Dreamers! Okay so… ahhhhhh I love John Mathew. I do not care that he is a fearsome vampire warrior nearly twice my size he is a sweet baby angel and I adore him! John is mute and communicates via ASL and sometimes […]
Hi Dreamers! It’s graduation season and with that comes yearbook superlatives! So in true book blogger fashion and in honor of my sister’s high school graduation this Thursday and Josie’s sister’s high school graduation last week I’m doing the Book Superlatives Book Tag! This tag was created by Chelsea on Youtube, but I found it […]
Content Warning: Abuse of Prescription Drugs, Drug Use, Alcohol Use, Violence, Physical Abuse, Sexual Abuse, Character Death, and Addiction Hi Dreamers! I’m going to be honest here, I didn’t like Rehvenge before his book. I had no interest in reading this one and honestly just wanted to get it read as soon as possible so […]
Father Mine Let’s talk about the short story Father Mine, first. Okay… squeeee! This short story revolves around Bella giving birth and Z’s relationship with their daughter, Nalla, just… I’m a sucker for babies. I’m also a sucker for Zsadist, he and Rhage are my absolute favorite characters! Also, big scary vampire males melting for […]
Hi Dreamers! Today I’m doing my first Down the TBR Rabbit Hole post! I think this might be more helpful and entertaining than my previous TBR posts. I’ll still be doing those, too and switching it out with these ones mid-month. So it will be a surprise which one I come out with every month! […]
Hi dreamers! This post is part of my travel series of when I went to Florida for Christmas 2018. Read more about it here. One thing that I was really excited to do while we were in Florida was meet Josie’s friends! She’s met all of mine (with the exception of Miss Gracie who is […]
A lot of this book takes place in Phury’s head and his need to escape using drugs. the book also mentions heroin as one of Phury’s attempts to escape his own mind. It had a VERY different feel to the rest of the series because instead of the brotherly love we feel with other characters’ books, Phury alienates himself from everyone. He’s losing everything and Ward does an excellent job of showing us how addiction works and how heartbreaking it can be.
Hi Dreamers! This is a continuation of my Florida travel series from this past Christmas to go visit Josie’s family. Turtles While we were there on Thursday because Josie had to work her dad, Lily and I went to go see the turtles at the Loggerhead Marine Life Center. (Click on the name to learn […]
It’s April! that means that both Book Ending Spring and Camp NaNoWriMo are happening all month! (This also means I won’t be sleeping all month!) I thought with my planner post this month that I would tell you all my goals for these two great events and a little about them if you wanted to join me on my insomniac journey.
We’re taking a break from the boys in the Black Dagger Brotherhood to bring you probably the most heart-wrenching book I’ve read in a while. I was really excited for this book’s release last month because I had already read a bit of Tehlor Key Mejia’s writing back in October. She had a short story […]
This post contains talk about medical things, body love, and body image. If that bothers you please don’t read. Negative comments will be deleted. Let’s chat for a minute. I’ve been on a short hiatus for a week just reorienting myself and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about where I am in […]
Today I want to talk about books that changed my life. These are books that either inspired me to write, made me read more, made me think, or made me see the world in a completely different way. A lot of them are ones I read as a child because that’s when we are most susceptible to those feelings of everything clicking into place, I think. So here we go!
This book contains explicit sexual scenes as well depictions and discussion of sexual assault. Aw, man… Vicious. From interviews with J. R. Ward she mentions that Vicious is one of the hardest of the brothers for her to write. Apparently they don’t get along for some reason I have yet to find (but I want […]
I’m going to put a disclaimer here that I’m not a doctor and this is just an awareness post. All of my knowledge on the things I’m about to talk about comes from my own layman’s research and medical treatments for my own body. If you feel that you are experiencing anything I talk about […]
Hi Dreamers! First off I would like to say I’m sorry. I promised this travel series three months ago when I got back from Florida and I’m just sitting down to do it now. The problem is I kind of have an unspoken blog schedule and Fridays and Saturdays are lifestyle posts. The issue here […]
The word “burnout” is thrown around quite a bit, and we all have a vague idea of what it means. It’s that feeling of mental and physical feeling of exhaustion that comes with being overwhelmed by work, school, family, friends, etc.
Well. Hot. Damn! J.R. Ward has done it again and made me absolutely fall head over heels for her characters. Now to be fair, I have a huge soft spot for Butch.
