I will start off by saying that contemporary Christian romance isn’t my typical genre. Oh my word though, what a beautiful story. I signed up to be part of this blog tour because Sarah is such a sweet person, and I was excited to read some of her writing.What I wasn’t expecting, however, was a high quality narrative that drew me in from the first page. It no longer mattered who the author was, because I started to care and needed to know more about Tyler and Alyvia.
When I found out that we were going on a three day trip without devices, I knew I needed a way to pass the time in the car. And I could never pass up the opportunity to read some new library books. I somehow managed to end up with eight books for the three days I was away. There was no way I could read that many books in such a short time.
But I had never tried. And thus I decided I was up for a challenge, especially with all the time on my hands. It seemed so fun.
My goal was to read all eight books. I could read for eight hours in the car one day, at night before bed, and the drive home.
It sounded great in theory. I made sure to tell my family just so that I’d be stubborn enough to stick with it.
It’s rare to find books that I fall deeply and utterly in love with. Some are good. The kind you recommend to others and really enjoy. And there’s a select few that make you want to sit back and contemplate life and have a good cry because it was so amazing.
The Scorpio Races was definitely one of the latter. What a masterpiece. I cannot get over how well written this beauty is. Read More »
Hey you guys,
I’m sitting here, stuck on how to even begin this post. So much has changed in the past few months of my life.
First of all, I want to apologize for not warning you that I was about to disappear off of the blogosphere. The reason that you didn’t know, is because I didn’t either. The break was unintentional, but so very much needed.
But the good news is that I’m back! Finally! And I’m planning to stick around for a while this time. 🙂
I wanted to start out with a life update, but read to the end for important changes taking place on my blog as well!
Let’s dive in, shall we?
Happy Sunday friends! I’d like to apologize for my lateness with this post, and hope you all don’t mind that it ended up a day late. ❤
I don’t really have that much to share, except a big thank you to all the lovely ladies who participated in this series with me, and a few closing thoughts.
Hey there dears! This is the first in a series of blog posts that will be focusing on identity, worth, and purpose as a young woman in the midst of a world that places value on everything but our Creator.
I think I do have a few guy readers, so for those of you who are, you can still read this if you do feel like it. 😛
But I thought it would be an encouragement to focus just a bit more on what God’s design is on the subject of worth as a young woman.
(At the bottom of this post I will be doing a list of the other places where some girls will be posting as a part of this series, if that’s something that you’re interested in as well.)
Without much more of my rambling, I’ll just let you read. 😛
I love the New Year. I love fresh starts, a time to make new resolutions, change things up a little bit, and get excited for yet another calendar year. It’s the kind of change that everyone looks forward to, I think.
But as I look back, I also feel a teeny twinge of sadness that it’ll never be 2018 again.
I wanted to do a wrap up post of the year like everyone else was doing, but I realized that maybe something a bit different would be better for me. (Plus the fact that I wasn’t very good at keeping track of everything over the course of one year. Not talking about that.)
I love getting things done, and I think this was another year of a ton of great things that happened, but even better than everything I accomplished, was what God accomplished.
Merry (almost) Christmas y’all! This month is passing way faster than I ever would’ve expected, but I’ve been enjoying it so much, especially all the Christmas shopping.
I haven’t been doing any of my normal posts lately, but I’m hoping to get back to those soon!
Anyway…let’s move on with the tag, shall we?
Check out my last NaNo post right here! If you’re curious more about the story itself, I’m sharing a bit more about it in this post.
So during NaNo I realized that…
I’m in love with my characters
As I kept going, this story just kept getting better and better. I fell in love with ALL of my characters, and realized that I was actually able to write a character with some humor.
This was quite the NaNoWriMo experience for me. In my last post I talked about how NaNo was in 2017. And wow. This was a GOOD year. Not exactly in the sense that you’re probably expecting, but amazing none-the-less.
I know I promised you a NaNo journal I was going to be sharing, BUT that didn’t happen. *hides* I totally forgot about it when I was just a few days in. And honestly, I’m glad I did. Remember how I said how I was going to be extremely busy? A journal wasn’t exactly a top priority, so I didn’t need to be stressing myself by adding one more thing to do daily.
