It's been a while (okay, a year) since I've posted on Orange Owl Diaries, but with good reason. I actually started a different blog that is more book-focused, as that's what this one was slowly turning into. I'm keeping the Diaries up because it's years of my life that was documented... and I might still … Continue reading Standing By – Deleted Scene
It's been a few months... and honestly I have no idea how that happened. I've just been busy with, well, life I suppose. That happens though. In any case, I hope you all have been having a good few months and a good start to the holiday season! A couple years ago I shared a … Continue reading Christmas Playlist – 2019 Edition
I've been gushing over these songs and their music videos since I've seen/heard them. As always, Pentatonix rocks every cover they perform... I'm still in shock that it's just their voices despite listening to them for years now. And Sofia Carson's voice is just pure amazing in the Spanish rendition of The Circle of Life. … Continue reading Two Lion King Songs I’ve Been Gushing Over
That's right... I threw three books into the DNF pile this month! I'm actually proud of myself because I'll usually suffer through to finish even if I'm not liking a book. I've done that so many times and I'm just sick of it. Although... there was one book this month I read all the way … Continue reading I Actually DNF’d Three Books!
Hey all, I'm still trying to ease my way back into regular blogging, but I always seem to be doing something else and don't think of it until I'm lying in bed trying to fall asleep. Oh well, it happens, right? Anyway, I found this tag over at Me and Ink and decided it would … Continue reading Me as a Writer: The Writer’s Tag
I've come to realize in my years of using Goodreads is that I need to be careful with it. Not in the same way you need to be careful with Facebook or Twitter though. What I mean is that I have recently noticed that I can be highly influenced by the ratings and reviews on … Continue reading Treading Goodreads Carefully
Panic. Chaos. Disaster. Well, not really, but some people did freak out. The other day at work our Internet connection went out at around two-thirty in the afternoon, which is about three and a half hours before we closed. Let me tell you, it was a long three hours. At first, it didn't seem like … Continue reading When the Library Loses Internet
My blog isn't totally centered around books, or at least it wasn't created for that, but I have been mainly blogging about books or my writing life, so I thought I'd take a little break from that with this tag that I found! This tag was originally created by Katie from ReadorRot and I found it … Continue reading Anything But Books Tag
Well guys, I did my Goodreads Challenge for the year in just six months! Honestly, I would've finished earlier, but I had a major reading slump in April and May. It was a bit upsetting to not feel like reading, but I was also finishing school in April and was just drained after that. I … Continue reading Mid-Year Reading Report
So I found this tag over at Lau Reads and I couldn't resist doing it myself. Like most of us, I love Harry Potter and will just about always do a tag or quiz that is based off of it. So here we go! – What Hogwarts house are you in? Ravenclaw – What is … Continue reading Harry Potter Book Tag
Like most of us bookworms of the world, I have a TBR list that goes on for miles and I'll probably be crushed by my stack of unread books one day. Everyday it seems like my TBR list grows and I'm constantly taking out books from the library or buying new ones on Amazon or … Continue reading Project Home Library
I recently went to my old middle school and high school to donate copies of my book and do a little bit of promotion (at the middle school) to hopefully get them interested in reading Standing By. Going to the schools was surreal, of course, since nothing has really changed inside of them. It's even … Continue reading Nostalgia
After I finished school one of my best friends and I went to Canada for the last weekend in April. It was the first time either of us were going out of the country and though Canada is right there, it was still so different. Especially since we went to Montréal of all places in … Continue reading Oh Canada!
