Hello 2024. Hello blog friends. I know it’s been quite a while since I wrote here. And honestly, I’m returning with a bit of trepidation only because it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post (so I have no clue if I still “got it”) and I’ve burnt out so badly that I…

If you were with me earlier this week, I shared a mini excerpt of Christopher Paolini’s new book To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. Today, I’m here to share with you the full excerpt. You can find more info about this book on my previous blog post. Without further ado, here’s the full excerpt:…

This is a little bit different from what I normally do, but I was perusing Twitter when I saw this: In my head, I was hyperventilating. I had heard Tahereh Mafi was going to move away from her high fantasy books to write something that felt much more autobiographical. I knew that it would be…

I’m silently freaking out about this trailer. Silently, out loud. In my head, my voice is booming. Shrill screams and face grabbing ensues. I can’t wait for this complex story to finally be on the big screen. If you haven’t already read the book, I highly recommend you do so but also watch out for…
