Happy Sunday, bibliophiles! (How are we halfway through August already? What’s going on?)
This week has been one of those weeks where quarantine has really felt like…Quarantine, you know? Not quarantine, but Quarantine. There’s plenty to do around the house, but I felt so weird, listless, and down for no identifiable reason for the first half of the week. Things started to pick up by Thursday, but it was still an odd kind of week. On the upside, I went on a short hike with my mom, did some drawing, watched North by Northwest, and took a tour of a museum (for everybody in the Colorado area, I HIGHLY recommend the Morrison Museum!)
Writing-wise, I’ve kind of been stumbling through my current WIP, so I probably need to get back to outlining…thing is, I have no idea what to put in before the climax, which should be coming…soon? So at the moment, I’ve just been tripping over my own feet in that respect. I really need to outline more.
Luckily, I got a great library haul, for the most part–I even got a 5-star read in the bunch, so expect a review in the next few weeks! I haven’t read much MG this year, so it was fun to have a few of such books to get into.

Ice Wolves (Elementals, #1)–Amie Kaufman (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
On a Sunbeam–Tillie Walden (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

Thank you! I’m so excited to read it–I had it on hold at the library for a few weeks, and I wasn’t expecting it to be ready so soon! Agreed–I loved The Deep (another novel by Rivers Solomon) and loved it, and I can’t wait to see what An Unkindness of Ghosts is like! 🙂

Spinning absolutely wrecked me so good luck bro. You’re reading so much good stuff! I’m about to start Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert.

[gulp] in that case, I’ll get my tissues…
Thanks so much! I’ve heard lots of good things about that one, I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! I’m about a third of the way through The War that Saved My Life, and I like it so far! I’ll update you when I can, and I may or may not review it once I finish it 🙂

So glad to hear you enjoyed On a Sunbeam! Tillie Walden is one of my favorite graphic novelists, and everything that I’ve read from her is fantastic. Hope you enjoy Spinning too! And I can’t wait to see what you think of Cinderella Is Dead!

Aaaah, it was INCREDIBLE! Thank you so much–I have most of her graphic novels on my TBR, and On a Sunbeam was my last 5-star read, so I see a very high rating for Spinning in my future…
