An Overdue Update

Posted in Random by

Hey guys, guess who’s back from the dead?

So, I’ve been gone…. for a while. Life sucks, adulting is hard, and I’m almost done with college for good (I graduate next week). Life sort of took over for a bit. I needed to focus elsewhere to get through the last few months. You know, big picture and all that jazz.

I am glad to say that I will begin posting regularly again! Woohoo! Cue the party music.

Basically me as the semester comes to a close

First up will be a review of The Handmaid’s Tale, hopefully coming out tomorrow sometime. Then, who knows? Maybe I’ll go crazy. I have no idea what’s coming next and that’s half the fun!

I just want to thank all you lovely people for sticking around, I couldn’t do this without you guys.

Young Adult Literature Is

Posted in Random by

A window into new places, circumstances, and ideas

An escape when you want to get away from everything

Innovative and full of controversy

A way to feel not so alone

Full of hilarious tropes and plot lines

The best way to emotionally destroy yourself (because fictional characters, duh)

The best way to convince everyone you are crazy because you laugh out loud or cry in public

The fastest way to fall in love with imaginary people (I’m looking at you, Rhys)

A way to connect with, understand, and even remember your own teenage experience

A gateway to falling in love with reading, just like I did

To me, Young Adult Literature is home

How I Met Brooding Young Adult Hero

Posted in Random by

BroodingYAHero is swoonworthy, simple as that. He’s delicious, his [insert random jewel tone] hues swirl, whirl, and broil with all of those hidden emotions we think exist because of subtext and not actual canon. You might meet him by making accidental eye contact in the cafeteria, or maybe he’ll run into you when you’re late for class and knock the books from your hand. Perhaps he saves your life in the woods from an unknown evil you don’t find out about until book three. Or maybe, just maybe, you’re soul mates who meet when you realize you’ve let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

Perhaps you find someone who wants to be everything but can’t, because plot.

Maybe it’s the subtle scary (not really, he’s actually threatening and emotionally abusive) supernatural creature

Maybe it’s the sensitive martyr who is willing to sacrifice himself because he loves you so damn much

Me?
