The End of November

Where did that month go? I feel like just yesterday I was dressed up in a flapper costume parading around campus in heels that made my feet bleed. (Yes, they really did.) I didn't do a lot this month. A lot of things hit me very hard all at once, and I'm surprised I'm still …

Recipe Review: Chewy Chocolate Cookies With Peanut Butter Chips

I made a lot of cookies last week. Like, a lot of cookies. Chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut, and these chewy chocolate cookies with peanut butter chips. (Try saying that name five times fast!) Since I got this recipe from the back of a bag of peanut butter chips, I'm just gonna give you …

Top 5 Books That Need a Spin Off Book/Series

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, once again brought to you by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm. This week, the topic includes a list of five books that need their own spin off book or need to be expanded into a series. There were so many books to pick from today, and I hope I've …

Updates!

Hello, everyone! You might have noticed that my usually-strict posting schedule went all to heck last week. I didn't do my Top 5 Tuesday, I missed the Wednesday Recipe, I avoided that Book Tag in there on Thursday, I skipped the ENG 513 book review on Friday, and I completely lost track of everything on …

Book Review: “Redwall” by Brian Jacques

If you remember my post from a few months ago, I mentioned I'd attempted reading the "Redwall" series once (I read Mattimeo) and gave up in frustration. I was also eleven years old. Last year, I picked up The Legend of Luke to give as a gift, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to give …

Book Review: “Love Him or Leave Him, But Don’t Get Stuck with the Tab” by Loni Love

This is a book I got for free from a GoodReads contest a few weeks ago. I thought it was hilariously appropriate because it showed up about a month after I was dumped. Since this is a self-help book (and it's halfway or more written by a ghost writer), there's no real story to judge …

The PopSugar 2018 Reading Challenge

So here's the deal. With the exception of 2011, I've never set a "reading goal" each year. In 2011, I wanted to read 100 books I'd never read before, so that meant while I could reread some books, the majority of the books I read had to be brand new to me. I worked in a …

The “Currently Reading” Book Tag

I found this book tag over at Thrice Read, and now that I've run through my backstock of book tag posts, I figured this would be a great one! I've got a lot of things going on in my life right now, so I'm trying to get back on track as soon as possible while …

Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest

We're back with another Top 5 Tuesday, thanks to Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm. I'm a little at a loss at this one, because I don't keep up with my TBR on GoodReads like a lot of people do. The majority of the ones on my GR are from just the past couple of months. …

Cheaha State Park

This weekend, I took an opportunity to go on an overnight camping trip with a couple of friends from the comic shop I play X-Wing at every Thursday night. I'd been debating on going for several weeks, but finally decided about three weeks out that I was going to go. When I originally signed up, …
