I like doing these opening lines posts. I never remember what the opening lines of books are, so it's always interesting to go back and see them. Also interesting to see the variety they have. I tend to choose books pretty randomly and just see what I get, so these aren't the ones I think are good or bad or anything, they just are. (Though I do like to choose a favorite, because why not?) As I...

Maia has more allies than she ever dreamed she would, but that does complicate things, and things aren't going as smoothly as she'd hoped. As her enemies make moves, plans change, and Maia and friends will have to take some serious risks if they want to stop the Emperor and the...
I cut my hair! (And bought a pirate shirt!) That's my big October news. I also made some art! I bought Rebelle 5 Pro because it was on sale for $20 (normally $150) and mimics traditional media like watercolor and oil paint. I can't use traditional media because it takes energy, money, and space that I don't have, so this has been fun to play with! I love the idea of controlled randomness like...
The plans have gone awry and Maia ends up having to face some surprising and some difficult news, but she's still determined to stop the asteroid. She'll have to find a way to gather some people and sneak into the castle if she wants to accomplish what her father...
I need a new name for these posts since they don't seem to happening weekly anymore. This time it's not entirely my fault though. I was going to start doing them every other week, and then freaking Hurricane Irma showed up and screwed up everything. My family and our houses were all fine since the hurricane ended up not hitting any of us directly, but I lost power for nine and a half days, then I...
So you know how I usually choose ten covers/series for my Cover Characteristic posts? Well... Hahahahahahahahaha---Not happening this time. I don't know what happened this year, if it was just coincidence or if I started judging books more by their covers and letting myself be drawn in by all the pretty ones, but I read SO MANY books with gorgeous covers this year, and I want to share them all....
Alright, peeps. It's that time of year again when I tell you all about my favorite characters! I know this probably won't be my most popular post, but I love it nonetheless because characters are my lifeblood. They are what gives me the emotion and the feels when I read, and that's what I love most in books. I might still sometimes give a book a high rating even without great characters if it's...
An asteroid is going to destroy life on Earth, so when Maia is given the chance to save herself and the little brother she thought dead, she takes it. But she'll have to compete against 99 others in the Shadow Trials for just a few spots, and she might have to trust the dangerous boy she vowed not...
Alright, last week I mentioned cinnamon brooms because, drumroll please... I gots myself a cinnamon broom and I'm all excited about it! I also promised you a story though, so here it is. Cinnamon is probably my favorite scent. I just LOVE it. (I also like to eat it, but that's not the point right now.) So for years growing up I begged my mother every holiday season to buy a cinnamon broom, but...
