the liebster award; part deux
I am finally catching up on all the blog posts I have fallen behind on reading and what do I find? Jenn @ a page of Jenniely has nominated me for a Liebster Award! It was a shock the first time it happened, and I’ll be honest, an even bigger one now! Especially considering my schedule has slowed down considerably. Thank you, Jenn! To recap, the Liebster Award is a chain-award that bloggers pass along to each other in order to highlight other blogs. It allows us to get to know one another better. Sounds like fun, right? What is your go-to self care? Something you do, wear, etc.…

the seven deadly sins tag;
I came across one of the most interesting tags I have seen over on Jess @ JBelkBooks‘ blog. I’m not one for tags unless I have actually been tagged in things, which is rare. But this was too good to pass up. And when Jess suggested that I do it after I flailed a bit about it, well, who was I to say no? GREED What is your most inexpensive book? What is your most expensive book? Hmm. A few years ago, I actually picked up the entire Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray for 14 NZD. Which was – whoa. I mean, ENTIRE TRILOGY. IN GOOD CONDITION. FOR FOURTEEN…

the mid-year freakout book tag;
It has been forever since I have been on my blog – writing and reading slumps are the absolute WORST – but I come back and find out I’ve been tagged to do The Mid-Year Freakout Book Tag by Jess @ JBelkBooks? OHEMGEE. This? Will be fun. I haven’t read a lot of books this year. A grand total of six so far. So I’m gonna cheat, a little, and bring in books I’ve read last year too? Okay? Okay. Let’s get to it! Best Book You’ve Read Yet in 2016 Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff. Hands down. I still cannot get over it. At all. I don’t…

the liebster award;
I was recently – and by recently I mean quite a while back, this is what happens when you take an impromptu hiatus – nominated for a Liebster Award! I will be honest, I have no idea what Ali @ The Bander Blog was thinking, but I really appreciate it. Definitely very flattered. For the uninitiated, the Liebster Award is a chain-award that bloggers pass along to each other to highlight other blogs and allows us to get to know one another better. I will admit, I had to look it up when I was tagged, but once I did? So onboard! And still so flattered, so thank you, Ali!…

new beginnings
The problem with starting a blog, for me, is that I never know how to start it. I’ve been sitting here for a good while just trying to figure out what to write. Do I start with an introductory post? Do I just jump straight in? I posed this question on Twitter and a couple of people answered – with conflicting responses. Helpful, right? But it made me realize that there is no correct way to go about doing this. This is a blog, for me, by me. This is MY blog, my space. I can do whatever I want here. It’s the start of April, and I am currently…
