I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that if you’re here, you like books to some extent. I mean, you may not exactly be a book dragon, atop your hoard of manuscripts, but clearly, you’ve got some vested interest somewhere. Fear not, though! There are others like you! Well, maybe not quite like […]
This book is my new favorite, and therefore, everyone should read it, because my heart shouldn’t be the only one that’s broken. I’ve heard only good things about Fredrik Backman, but this is actually the first book I’ve read of his, and I was not disappointed. Actually, I plan on reading all his work. If […]
Wish Our Hearts Away is a coming-of-age book with a really unique twist on the age-old adage of “be careful what you wish for.” I’m not just saying that because I know the author, even though I do. Which you should know before I get into it, although it’s not influenced my review at all. […]
Sometimes you think, gosh, these two books are just perfect for each other; I should set them up and it’ll be the best meet-cute ever. I, of course, immediately thought of Frankenstein, as you do. In my defense, Frankenstein is cooler and is allowed to play with sharp objects. For some reason, people keep taking […]
You smell that lovely aroma? Yup, that’s new blog smell. The Writerly Way officially has its own domain and thank goodness. I can do all the things now. So many of them. It has opened up all new ways to procrastinate blog. So what does this mean for you? Nothing. Hopefully. If everything has gone as […]
People ask me all the time, “How do you find time to read so many books?” Okay, so, no one asks me that. But they should. Usually, instead, they just complain about how they never find time to read or how I’m so lucky that I can. They act like I’m drowning in all this […]
We’re going to pretend this is a review and not 1,000 words of mindless fangirl babble as my brain dissolves, okay? Glad we got that out of the way. Thunderhead is book two in the Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman. This will probably have spoilers for book one because, well, that’s sort of how […]
I had so many people recommend I read this that I really couldn’t put it off anymore. Well, I mean, I suppose I could, but these people are writers and readers, which means not only are they creative, but they probably already know the best ways to make me disappear and get away with it, so […]
Buying hoards of books can be expensive, but it’s also sort of our lifeblood, so … it’s complicated. I get it. I’ve lived in a one-bedroom apartment, eating so much ramen that I still have nightmares about it, and the only books I could afford at the time were the ones I had to buy […]
Not gonna lie, I have an utter fascination with death as a character. In Sims, I would always kill random people to lure the Grim Reaper and marry him so I could have his mutant babies. You know, before EA became concerned that players were having too much fun and put a stop to that. I’m not […]
