I just came home with these books from Target. I’m apparently trying to reconnect with my love of poetry as well as my love of horror. Watering the Soul had me tearing up at the store. It’s beautiful. Heartstopper is something entirely different and my kids are reading them as well, so… And yes, theseContinue reading “No, I Don’t Have a Problem”

Getting Reacquainted
I spent most of the day reading Bloody Bones, trying to speed through without missing anything. My friend who introduced me to the series just sent me a fan picture Laurell K. Hamilton shared online. I’m so happy to have someone to geek out with. I keep thinking of this friend as I’m reading. BesidesContinue reading “Getting Reacquainted”
I Need More Shelves
I wasn’t going to buy so many books this Summer. I was supposed to focus on what I already own, because I really want to read them all. I’ve mentioned before that I’m finding my way back to enjoying horror again. I think having young kids and being on my own a lot kept meContinue reading “I Need More Shelves”
Setting the Mood
I’m slowly making my way through this difficult bit. It’ll need a lot of revision, but I can do that after I get a lot farther along. When the exact feel of what’s happening is clearer for me. Part of my issue, I’m sad to say, is that I’ve been watching Heartstopper too much. It’sContinue reading “Setting the Mood”
Procrastination!
I’m going to work on it tonight. I swear. I have just been working up to it. I don’t really want to have to write this scene, but it has to happen. Even trying to explain it makes me feel queasy. I did have to do a bit more research for it, which led toContinue reading “Procrastination!”
I’m a Dork for Heartstopper
I’ll happily admit it. I love this series so much. The sweetness. The emotions. The representation. I’m so happy about the representation. My kids found the graphic novels first and devoured them. Repeatedly. I was hesitant to let them watch the show because of the rating, but they were so adamant. So, we sat downContinue reading “I’m a Dork for Heartstopper”
Never Mind
I’m starting with book number three. I had tried to reread these books a while back, but I got distracted. What’s new? As I tried reading the Laughing Corpse, most of the story came flooding back. I skimmed through to catch some forgotten pieces and moved on to The Lunatic Cafe. This is feeling lessContinue reading “Never Mind”
Book Moods
I was going to just keep reading the Fever series for Summer. I love Mac and Barrons and getting them out of my head was not happening. Well, the sixth book is from Dani’s perspective and I’m just not as captivated by her. I’ll read it eventually. It’s very good. I’m just not in theContinue reading “Book Moods”
It’s Done
It took a couple (obsessive) days, but I finished rereading the first five books in the Fever series. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get to the rest. I’m satisfied. I remembered the story ending happily. Not in a forced, or cheesy way, but properly. I just couldn’t remember how. It was agony having toContinue reading “It’s Done”
I Wasn’t Gonna, But I Did
I was going to take a break and just focus on writing. I mean, I finally finished the castle floor plans last night and can move past that block. But this series just keeps nagging at my thoughts. It’s been a ride. I’m tired. I’m worn out. I’m screaming hopelessly into the void with Mac.Continue reading “I Wasn’t Gonna, But I Did”
