Every Writer Should Read This Book

There was this book I started reading a few months ago, then quit. (I’m horrible like that.) I don’t know why I did, but I know I got a feeling for the emotional roller coaster that was coming, and I didn’t want to get so invested in the characters. (And I call myself a writer.

Is There Such a Thing as Reader’s Block?

Confession: I haven’t finished reading a single book in at least two years. 🤦‍♀️ It’s true. For some reason, I just couldn’t sit down and finish reading anything.

Bookish Things – a Review of Beyond the Bright Sea

I don’t do many book reviews on here, but when you read a book like Beyond the Bright Sea (Lauren Wolk), it’s hard to resist. A friend recommended this book, and I picked it up at the library. As it was a middle-grade story, I wasn’t entirely sure how I would enjoy it. But any doubts I
