NaBloPoMo is over and Lin-Manuel Miranda is adapting “The Kingkiller Chronicle”

This is it! The final day of NaBloPoMo! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been fun. And I say that genuinely. It has genuinely been fun. It's a challenge to write a blog post every day, and the best part about it is proving to myself that I can actually do it. That way when I'm feeling out-of-the-blog in…

It’s day 27 and I’ve reverted to stream of consciousness (and reading updates)

Guys, I'm so over blogging right now that I literally did my HOMEWORK before by blog post today. That's how over NaBloPoMo I am. I don't remember ever feeling this way last year during NaBloPoMo, but I have officially reached the breaking point. I am proud that there are only a few days left and…

IT’S NABLOPOMO! (and this post is gonna wander)

It's NABLOPOMO! The one month of the year when I decide to do a blog post every day! What is this madness!? Right now I am currently sitting at my desk at work, streaming the Cubs game and trying to look like nothing out of the ordinary is happening. (I work at a library, so…

Updates on MuggleNet and blogging

Hello blogaroos! It's been a slow month on the blog - grad school is a lot of work, guys. But aaaaactually, I'm finished with one of my classes now, so I've got a chunk back of free time that I can spend on blogging and pleasure reading! Hooraaaaaay! This free time opened up last week,…

Reflections on NaBloPoMo

It is done! This is the LAST day of NaBloPomo! I will admit, it feels like a small weight has been lifted, but I am glad I participated. I have learned that I am definitely not a daily blogger. My biggest problem was finding the time to post every day, since some of my posts…

Predict my life in books tag

For the SECOND TO LAST post of NaBloPoMo, I'm getting a tad bit slap-happy. I found this tag on a quick WordPress search because I needed an I-don't-know-what-to-blog-about-today tag, and it is just silly enough to be exactly what I need. Here goes: SOULMATE: I've never really been one to fall in love with fictional…

Signed editions

Last year, Barnes & Noble started selling signed editions on Black Friday. This year they did the same, and while I didn't do any Black Friday shopping this year, I decided my post for today could be sharing the signed copies that I own. I am starting to accumulate quite a few, some of which…

Bookish things I’m thankful for

Happy Thanksgiving! Before I stuff myself with food and drink and remain in a stupor for the rest of the day, I want to make a list of things I'm thankful for, within the boundaries of the bookish theme of my blog. And here they are: Finally having (almost) enough shelf space for my home…

Coffee book tag

Thanks to my coworker, friend, and fellow blogger, michelinam06, for this tag! BLACK: NAME A SERIES THAT’S TOUGH TO GET INTO BUT HAS HARDCORE FANS. (I'm stealing your answer for this one Michelina, sorry!) A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin. As previously mentioned, I've only read the first book. I really enjoyed it,…

Thoughts on graphic memoirs

I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to reading graphic novels. I've read 5, and they are: The Infinite Wait and Other Stories by Julia Wertz Drama by Raina Telgemeier American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang Peanut by Ayun Halliday Persepolis (both 1 and 2) by Marjane Satrapi I recently started reading Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, which inspired me to write…
