August Wrap-Up | School Starts and my Reading Plummets
This year just keeps flying by! We’re through eight months and I’m already in my fourth week of school. It’s been a bit difficult to adjust back to school, especially since I have to wake up at 6 am. We’ve only been learning for about two weeks (our first week was a lot of ‘get to know you’ things and simple stuff), but I’ve already had a few quizzes. I mean, it is junior year, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. BOOKS READ Well, that number went down. In my defense, I went to summer camp at the beginning of August for five days and had literally no time to…

Bookish Merchandise I Own and Merch I Want
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. I was looking at bookish merchandise the other day (because who doesn’t want that?) and it got me thinking that I could do a post on it. So, today I will be sharing the bookish merch that I have and some that I want to have. I’m linking where you can buy these for most of the products. I don’t know where some of them are from (they were gifts) so I won’t be able to link those. Merch I Own The Lightning Thief necklace I’m pretty sure this was given to me either for a birthday or Christmas. This kind of…

July 2022 Camp NaNoWriMo Wrap-Up
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. It’s been a wild few days. I got back from summer camp on Friday and spent the weekend adjusting to being back at home. I’ve been in a bit of a post-camp slump; coming back home after camp is a bit sad. Camp is this whole world where time works differently and then it’s all over. Anyways, today I’m sharing a wrap-up for July Camp NaNoWriMo which I participated in last month. How the month went Overall, the month went really well. I worked on draft 4 of OMaM and made a lot of progress. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to finish the…
