Let’s Talk Bookish: The Difference Between Book Addicts and Book Lovers
It has been two months since I’ve written a discussion and I am very excited to get back into them. When I first read this topic, I instantly knew that it would be interesting to hear other people’s opinions. So of course, I knew I should share my own. Let’s Talk Bookish a weekly meme created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and is hosted by Rukky and Dani @ Literary Lion where we discuss various topics and share our opinions. Today’s topic is The Difference Between Book Addicts and Book Lovers (suggested by Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly). First of all, how do you define a book addict and…

Wow, can you believe it? Another photography post that’s actually in the next month. I surprised myself too. I went on a hike yesterday and took a bunch of photos of the flowers that I saw. Spring has come way too early. Most of these flowers are supposed to bloom in March and April, and yet here we are, in February. I identified all of the ones I got photos of, so their name will be captioned underneath each image. In case any of you are wondering, all of these photos were taken on my phone, a very old, Samsung Galaxy S8. I hope you enjoyed all these photos! I…

The Chapters and Melodies Tag
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I didn’t mean to disappear for a week, but my schedule has been very busy. Ever since I started that youth mentoring program, I’ve had something happening after school every day, causing me to push off doing homework until the evening and not be able to work on my posts. I was up until 9:00 pm the other day finishing a history assignment. I’ve been doing quite a few tags recently, which might not be the most exciting thing to read, but I had a lot of fun doing this one. Today we’re combing two of my favorite things: reading and music!…
