My OTSP (On The Same Page) Secret Sister told me about NetGallery, a website where book reviewers can get copies of upcoming releases in exchange for honest reviews. That’s how I got this one from Alibi. All opinions are my own, and as I mentioned in the review of the first book, I purchased that… Continue reading for whom the bread rolls {book review}
I’m a sucker for these “cozy mysteries”. The premise is simple: a usually small-town local business owner, going about their daily life, encounters a dead body. (Most that I’ve read have been female, so I’m going to go with that assumption, but male narrators are welcome!) Sometimes, she’s new to town and sometimes, she’s lived there forever.… Continue reading the crepes of wrath {book review}
Dear 2017, I just sent 2016 off with a letter full of pictures and memories, so it’s time to welcome you. I want you to feel comfortable here, my dear 2017, because you are so anticipated and everyone has such high hopes for you. Don’t worry; you don’t have to be perfect. You just have… Continue reading dear 2017: hello
Dear 2016, This isn’t an easy letter to start. As I type, you’re only with us for four more hours in my time zone, but part of me won’t consider you gone until all time zones are in the new year. I don’t think I’ve ever wished a year goodbye as fervently as I have… Continue reading dear 2016: goodbye
2016 has been a trying year for almost everyone I know. Maybe it’s because we’re all getting older and dealing with adult things instead of high school or college stuff. Maybe it’s because election years are hard and the last time time we had two new (aka not an incumbent) candidates was in 2008 and I was… Continue reading thankful and grateful | 25
I keep one of the radio presets in my car set on the local Christmas station all year round (I mean, they do play good music the other 11 months, but still) because I’m obsessed with Christmas music. Once Thanksgiving has passed (because why wait until December 1st?)m I love turning it up and singing… Continue reading christmas music | 1
Well, that was doomed to fail before it started. I’ll go back to the thought process of doing the 12 Days of Blogmas instead. I should be able to get those up in time :p If I want the twelfth day to happen ON Christmas, I need to start on the 14th. …Right. 4 days.… Continue reading high expectations
So this year, I’m continuing the insanity of NaNoWriMo by… doing Blogmas! (Future Cassidy is probably cringing at this decision.) Blogmas is basically a new blog post every day from December 1st until Christmas. I’ve seen both bloggers and YouTube vloggers do it, and I’ve always loved it and admired their ability to do TWENTY FOUR… Continue reading #blogmas | 1
I DID IT! I’m ridiculously proud of this little black box, but more so (obviously) for what it stands for: I wrote 50,000 words of an original novel in 30 days. I’ve written 50k in 30 days before, but this time was different. First of all, all 50 thousand words belonged to the SAME story… Continue reading nanowrimo wrap up
So we’re most of the way through November, but here we go with the 30 days of NaNoWriMo (2015 answers can be found by searching for the nanowrimo category!). Day 1 – Have you participated in NaNoWriMo before? If so, which years and what end result? If not (or even if so, for that matter),… Continue reading 30 days of nanowrimo | 2016
