My Dear Twenties
You know what? I don’t think I could have ever predicted the growth, the loss, the happiness, the love, the emotional highs and lows, the depression, or the medical challenges that happened during this season. Admittedly, I had no idea what to expect when I entered my twenties. I knew the dreams that I had but had no idea what was to come. And I was not at all prepared.
It brings forth the…

Antique Stores, Bookstores, and Restaurant in Galveston, TX
I recently went to Galveston on a little day trip that was very needed.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Rating: 💛💛💛💛💛

How I felt while reading this novel
Initially, the novel sparked my interest because I like reading books from the antagonists’ point of view (I thought I knew who the antagonist was!). Sometimes I find it interesting to understand the WHY behind their actions even if it is wrong or twisted.
What I didn’t expect with this darn book was to feel like…

I heard that it would be emotional and possibly sad. But regardless, I still neeeeeeeded to read it. So my expectations were high. Were they met??

A SUNDAY IN A SMALL TOWN
A SUNDAY IN A SMALL TOWN
Sitting in bed one night, scrolling through instagram, I came upon an ad about thriftcon. I had never really been “in” with the whole thrifting life because I had nothing that I really needed at the moment. But when I saw thriftcon, I thought, that seems really interesting. My interest was piqued.
I sent the ad to one of my friends who I know likes to thrift and she immediately bought her…

BEST AUTHORS TO TRANSITION FROM YA TO ADULT NOVELS
BEST AUTHORS TO TRANSITION FROM YA TO ADULT NOVELS
I remember reading yet another YA novel and I stopped reading for a year. Why? I got burned out and bored! I was in my mid-twenties and I didn’t feel like reading about high schoolers all the time anymore. I wanted to read about people like me; people in the same boat as me, having the same struggles, or in the same stage of life. So I went on the hunt for books with relatable characters. These…

THE STRUGGLES OF STARTING A BLOG
THE STRUGGLES OF STARTING A BLOG
Can I be honest? Starting this blog has been one of the hardest things for me to do. I might say this once a day but it’s so true and such a part of my everyday life now! There is so much fear that surrounds putting your work, thoughts, opinions, ideas, out for the public to see. Self doubt. Questioning my writing. Struggling with perfectionism (my therapist thinks I have this but we have…

The Best "secret" Restaurant in Austin, Tx
The Best “secret” Restaurant in Austin, Tx
I call this a secret restaurant because it is so unassuming when looking at the building! This being my first time in Austin, I had no idea what to expect. I left Austin that day feeling tired from all the great food. This restaurant was definitely a great end to the trip!
IF YOU’RE GOING TO AUSTIN, YOU NEED TO STOP AT THIS RESTAURANT!
Here’s why:

BOOK VS. MOVIE
I feel like every time a book is about to become a “major motion picture”, book lovers immediately hold their breaths, cross their fingers and toes, and start praying that the movie lives up to our expectations!
Because honestly, its true! Movies rarely live up to the expectations we have for books. But I think there are some close competitors.
Here’s my review: book vs. movie
