Goodbye 2022

 


I don't know about you, but I feel like 2022 was both miserable and magical (see what I did there?). Which is okay. If you've made it through the year, congratulations! I'm proud of you, and you should be, too. 



Personally, 2022 felt like it lasted a very short time, but when I look back at January of the year, I can hardly believe it's the same year. I was still doing mostly online classes, and most of the books I read during that time were way better than what I finished with. How is it that Turning Red came out this year? It's kind of crazy, actually, how so much can happen in just 365 days. I got to see some family members after a really long time, made new friends, watched weird movies and shows, memorized the lyrics to a bunch of different songs, and visited some really interesting places. 

(I sort of want to write an entire series of posts breaking down every thing I did or saw this year now, but no promises. We'll see if I have the time and motivation to do it.)

I'm really sorry for the lack of posts the last few months. Studying has been stressing me out the entire year, which is sad. I have exams coming up in 2023, and I've been sick the last couple of days, so I'm pretty nervous. I don't really know if I'll be able to post more in 2023, but I'll try. I forgot how fun it is to write here. It feels like I have this little corner of the internet to express my thoughts and ideas, and I'm really grateful for everyone who clicks on my silly posts about books and other random stuff. 

What are you most looking forward to in 2023? Do you have any goals or plans? What were you grateful for this year? Let me know in the comments. This will probably be my last post for this year, which is crazy, but what's life if not that? I wish you all the best for the upcoming year! Thank you, and hopefully I'll be seeing you next year!

Letter Writing: Old Fashioned?

Note: This blog post is going to be a little bit different, as it's neither a review nor a list of something, but rather just a thought based discussion. I actually tried writing this a while back, but I wasn't sure where I was going with it, so I deleted it. This time, I thought I'd just go along with it! Let's be honest: how many times have you sent or received a letter in the last ten years or so? I'm going to take a wild guess and say, not many. But truth is, in the world of emails, instant texts and video calls, who needs letters? That's a great argument. Letters take time to arrive, and in this digital world, time seems to be the last thing we have.  But there's just something so nostalgic about picking up a pen and paper. Which might seem a bit strange, considering I wasn't born when letters were very popular, but they unlock a memory I didn't even know I had inside me.  So, anyways, what do you need to write a letter? Just a pen, piece of pap...

An Actually Important Chat

Hello everyone. So first of all, you may be wondering why I didn't post yesterday. Usually, it'd be because I didn't have the time, or the right inspiration.  But eventually I would find time and inspiration and write something, right?  Yeah, not this time.  Creativity block? Maybe. It's true, it's been weeks since I've worked on my WIPs.  But I guess the real reason is that I've been working every week on this blog not for myself, but for everyone reading it. I realized, while frantically scrolling through 'Post Ideas' lists on the internet on Thursday, I feel like I have to write because I have to, not because I want to. Get what I mean?  I wondered what the point was. If it was worth the effort at all. You might be thinking what a short, usually less than a thousand words post once a week that basically included me ranting required effort for.  Well, writing is hard. And it doesn't always feel the same. So while writing a post every week might...

Review - The Storm Runner - J.C. Cervantes

I remember learning about the Incas in 4th grade, but not about the Maya civilization. And I had basically zero idea about their myths and legends. So The Storm Runner seemed like a good pick.  Zane has an actual volcano near his home, which he likes to explore with his dog Rosie. Even if hiking isn't easy, because one of his legs is shorter than the other. But things get a little more... interesting and complicated , when he meets a girl named Brooks in his new school, who wasn't even in the school records. So, does he get tangled in some mega Maya problems? One word- yes .  The story was very cool, and I didn't expect this particular book to cover all the things it did (I thought it would have a shorter plot, and all the solution will take place in the other books in the trilogy). But that was a nice surprise, and I am very excited to read the second and third book (the third book actually came out quite recently).  Ratings (by me): Characters: 8/10     ...
