The End of February

Whew. It's been a long time (three months!) since I've done a monthly wrap-up post. I finally feel like I've accomplished enough in this past month to make writing a monthly wrap-up post necessary! Let's see how I did: Books Read: 1 Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut I didn't get to read a lot of books …

Top 5 Bookish Pet Peeves

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, with the debut of my new featured image for this series. I got tired of the old one and decided to do something that fit more in line with my blog. Will I ever go back and replace the old ones? Probably, most likely when I'm procrastinating on my …

One-Word Prompt: Astral

Do you ever get that feeling where you can feel your soul disconnect from your body and you ascend to that distant astral plane of the universe where you are able to scream for an eternity without anybody hearing you, and then your soul floats itself down and you re-enter your body so you can …

You Win Some, You Lose Some

...and unfortunately in my case, I have lost this one. I posted on Tuesday about the fact that I had a meeting with my thesis advisor and committee members on Wednesday. Unfortunately for me, while I thought I was strong enough to go into the meeting, I was not. I spent the whole day worrying …

Graduation Woes

I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I got caught up in worrying about a job interview I had scheduled for today (they pulled a bait & switch on me; the job I applied for is not the job I interviewed for, so we'll see...the money might be too good for me to pass …

Top 5 “Ships” I’ll Sail to the Ends of the Earth…Or Maybe Just Next Door?

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, where I write about a bunch of books that you probably don't care about in-between binging the Olympics using my father's DishTV login on the official NBC Website. As always, T5T is hosted by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, so be sure to head to the main page to …

The ’90s Kid Book Tag

This is a fun book tag I found while browsing through the book tag tag on the WordPress Reader. This tag came from Laura's Reading Nook, but the original creator was The Literary Phoenix. While I wasn't strictly a '90s kid, as I was born in 1994, I did still experience the majority of these …

Top 5 Cover Buys

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, hosted by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm! This week's topic is something a little different: the top five books you've bought because of the cover. Everyone tells you not to judge a book by its cover, but what happens when you do...? Without further ado, here we go! William …

X-Wing Regional @ Giga-Bytes Cafe

This past weekend, I went to a regional tournament for this little tabletop game I play called X-Wing. As Steven puts it, you push little plastic spaceships around an oversized mousepad for an hour until one of you loses more ships than the other. This is going to be a (probably not quick) write-up of …

The Anything but Books Tag

It's been about eight months since I started this blog, and I feel as if there's a lot about me that the world still doesn't know. That's why I picked up this tag. I saw it on Book Reviews for Bookish People months and months ago, and have had that tab open in my browser …
