October is upon us, and even though I love Halloween, I am usually not a huge fan of horror or thrillers. I avoided most horror movies growing up (besides my weird fascination with the Final Destination movies) and when it came to books I'm more of a fantasy person (and October is also fantasy read … Continue reading Spooky Reads Challenge
Did it take me longer than 4 weeks to read all these books? Yes. Did I read every book on this list? No. We should expect this by now. I give myself these tight deadlines and then fall apart either do to book availability (I'm trying to focus on library books instead of spending money … Continue reading 5 Romance Books in 4 Weeks: A Review
August is Read Romance Month and I have to be honest, I didn't become a huge fan of romance until a few years ago. I always avoided the strictly romance read because I thought it was beneath me.

When I was younger, I kept a few diaries. Not consistently. And I would forget for months at a time, but I would try. I … Continue reading Dear Diary Day
By the title you might think I've gone crazy. Either you understand what I'm talking about it or you don't and you think I'm just babbling. Kate Cavanaugh, one of my favorite authortubers, announced earlier this month that starting...well, tomorrow...she would be writing one million words in a year. Crazy. I know. But also brilliant. … Continue reading Half-a-Milwordy Challenge

(Even though this is late because of how weird my schedule is this week! Sorry everyone!) So this month, … Continue reading Happy Short Story Month
Hello stress, my name is Bee. This month was crazy. I visited family. I realized my new job is harder than I first thought. I got overwhelmed. I read three books. I wrote 6 blog posts.
