Hi, Lovelies. This is my last summer. After this summer, I’m going to be a senior and graduate from college. From there, I plan on traveling the world, hopefully teach English in foreign countries.

Embracing and Overcoming Rejection

Hi, Lovelies. Getting rejected sucks, but it’s just something that comes with being a writer. And let’s be honest; life. As a college student, I probably would have gotten rejected by colleges if I had bothered applying for others. I’ve got rejected from so many scholarships, which wasn’t hurtful as much as disappointing because it meant that I didn’t get …

Mentorship: Learning from Women Who Shaped My Life

Hi, Lovelies. I had another lesson that I’ve learned from college, but realized that it deserves its own blog post. It is about mentorship.

It’s called The Twelve Days of Murder by Andreina Cordani.  Now, I haven’t read this one yet, but it sounds really interesting and is on my to-read list. I’m not huge on mysteries, but the book almost gives me Truly Devious vibes. It’s a young adult mystery series by Maureen Johnson. She did …

Day 9: The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year

Hi, Lovelies.  You know, I really should have read some holiday books ahead of time before I started this series, but I didn’t. I thought, “Oh, I’ve read a book a day before, I can do it for this,” Only problem, it’s hard to find holiday books in the middle of nowhere Arizona, especially good ones.  Like I read this …

Day 8: The Afterlife of Holly Chase

But I’m here, so let’s dive into Day 8.  Today, we are doing my absolute favorite Christmas book. It’s called The Afterlife of Holly …
