Exploring the beauty of life, the joy of love, and the magic of reading and writing.
As I had mentioned a past post, I felt a disconnect from my culture as an adopted kid. There were very few books about Asians or by Asian Authors when I was young. Now that I’m older, I have not only tried to find some, and I do believe there are more Asian books being written. Shoutout to https://www.diversebooks.org/ Additionally, …
Hi, Lovelies. My birthday is today; October 13th. I’m turning 20, or as my roommate says 2 decades. So to celebrate, I wanted to tell you my adoption story. A fun fact about me:While my birthday is legally October 13th, I don’t know my real birthday. That’s just the date on my birth certificate. You’ll find out why in a …
Hi, Lovelies. On October 6th, it is the Chinese Moon Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival. I was adopted from China, so while I have always felt a disconnect from my culture, the tale of the Chinese Moon Goddess was one of the first I had ever learned. And I just absolutely love the story and want to share the story …
Hi, Lovelies. I’m back! It’s time to learn about our dude, Charles Ammi Cutter. Recap: If you guys don’t remember, I talked about the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC) last post.

Hi, Lovelies. I recently started a job at the college library and that is why I didn’t do a post last week. Or at least that’s the excuse I’m going with.

Hi, Lovelies. College is really hard.

Right now, I’m feel like I’m struggling. And I had a hard time figuring out what to …
Hi, Lovelies. (Note; This post was supposed to be published on August 14th, but apparently, I had technical difficulties with my blog. Thanks for your patience. I’ll be sure to post more soon.) It’s been an absolutely chaotic past two weeks as I say my goodbyes to everyone and pack all my stuff up. I’m going off to college! Well, …
Hi, Lovelies. Today I want to talk about my all-time favorite Japanese fairytale. It’s called “The Boy Who Drew Cats” Now, if you know me, you know I love cats. In fact, I have two of my very own. They’re my babies. Dominic and Vivi, short for Vivian. I first read this story in a comic book filled with fairytales …
If I was going to name my daughter after a flower, I would choose a poisonous flower. Why? Because I would want them to be pretty and delicate like a flower. But poisonous because if the world ever tries to chew them up, my girls will be strong enough that the world will immediately spit them out and never try …
Hi, Lovelies. It’s been a rough couple of days. I had planned on posting something else, but I didn’t finish. And I considered not posting anything, but I thought I should share how I’m feeling. I’m feeling terrible. Like the demons are rising up inside me. The shadows lengthen, threatening to consume me. The spiders in my brain spin a …
