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 […]
So you’re staring down the barrel of a new project . . . Congratulations! Ha, gosh, you are so screwed. Now, for some writers, this isn’t a problem. If you’re one of Those Peopleâ„¢, like myself, this post isn’t for you. You’d probably benefit more from some Rabid Plot Bunneh Sprayâ„¢. And if someone manages […]
I have a confession: I’ve never read a W. Bruce Cameron book before. I KNOW. But it gets worse! I did watch the movie. I absolutely loved A Dog’s Purpose, even though I ugly cried through pretty much all of it. So when I stumbled on this, I had to read it, because it combines my […]
So, the observant among you may have noticed … I’ve been gone for a little while. No need to worry. I haven’t wandered through any hidden doorways to other worlds or been whisked away by a cranky, and frankly confused, dragon. Although, how cool would that be? Of course, that’s not to say that a […]
