I took a big hiatus from reviewing books here, really from reading in general, but I’m back! Anya and the Dragon had been sitting in my NetGalley queue for a long time. It is the first novel I have read since August, and it was like getting a nice cold drink of water after beingContinue reading “Book Review: Anya and the Dragon”

2019 Publications Round-Up
I’m sorry for my silence this fall. It’s been busy with a full course load, conventions, edits, and writing. Actually, this whole year has been super busy, and my list of publications is so much smaller than last years. My first publication of 2019 was a poem called “Is Listening Visiting.” It was published inContinue reading “2019 Publications Round-Up”
Book Review: The Time Trap
The middle grade reading spree continues with a digital ARC of The Time Trap that I got from NetGalley. The Time Trap did have a good message for kids whose parents are going through a divorce, but it all seemed very cliche. Telling kids that acting out won’t make their parents get back together, andContinue reading “Book Review: The Time Trap”
When you start querying one manuscript, start writing a new one.
I remember reading on websites, forums, and social media that once I started querying a manuscript, I should focus on writing a new one. The advice was that unless I was getting multiple rejections on fulls, or multiple rejections with similar feedback, I should just leave the manuscript alone. The first three times I queried,Continue reading “When you start querying one manuscript, start writing a new one.”
IWSG Day: Rebellious Character Surprises!
The first Wednesday of every month, the IWSG posts an optional question, encouraging members to read and comment on each other’s blogs. August’s Question is: Has your writing ever taken you by surprise? For example, a positive and belated response to a submission you’d forgotten about or an ending you never saw coming? For me,Continue reading “IWSG Day: Rebellious Character Surprises!”
Book Review: The Bone Garden
The middle-grade reading spree continues with The Bone Garden. I got a free ARC of this creepy but cute little book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I didn’t think necromancy could be the cute, but alas, it was. In spite of its cuteness, I wasn’t as engaged with The Bone Garden asContinue reading “Book Review: The Bone Garden”
Book Review:All the Impossible Things
Alright, so I’m back to that middle grade reading spree! Granted, it hasn’t felt like much of a spree yet since this is only the third middle grade book I’ve read this summer… Spree or not, I received a free copy of All the Impossible Things from Netgalley and read the whole thing in oneContinue reading “Book Review:All the Impossible Things”
Book Review: Waking Up the Sun
Waking Up the Sun was a cute romance set in a dark yet enchanting forest where two people, the only two people in the forest, gradually fall in love with each other. My favorite part about this was the mental illness representation. The main characters panic attacks, combine with his description of his cycles ofContinue reading “Book Review: Waking Up the Sun”
Book Review: City of Ghosts
For the next couple of weeks, while I try to finish my own middle grade novel, I’m going to be on a paranormal middle grade reading spree. City of Ghosts is the second title I’ve read since I started and it was so much better than the first book I read off my middle gradeContinue reading “Book Review: City of Ghosts”
