Although I love YA fantasy the most, I find myself returning to memoirs often. I found my love for memoirs in middle school when we were, ironically, forced to choose one and write a review over it. I read a memoir written by a woman spy, but I cannot remember the title. However, I've returned… Continue reading Relax & Read: The Orchard

Website Wonders: Book Country: Discover New Fiction
Thank you for all the follows on my Twitter, messages, and e-mails. I love connecting more and more with fellow bloggers, writers, and readers. So I thought I'd share a REAL website wonder today (rather than my own twitter, although I do have a twitter button now thanks to JackieP's helpful suggestion.) Since we're all readers… Continue reading Website Wonders: Book Country: Discover New Fiction
Website Wonders: Twitter: ShanAshleeT23
So I know my twitter isn't a website wonder, (because that would be egotistical of me), but I thought I'd give everyone my link today. I tweet writing quotes, writing tips, and about my own writing adventures. My twitter is also attached to my blog, so it's an easy way to see my updates. So… Continue reading Website Wonders: Twitter: ShanAshleeT23

It was also dedicated to my roommate, Kristine Andersen, who passed away October 7, 2012. This… Continue reading Shannon Summary: Publishing

For those of you who did not see this in the news, Chief's player, Jovan Belcher, committed murder-suicide against his girlfriend, leaving his 3-month-old daughter. Read more about it here. However, like… Continue reading Relax & Read: Dreamland
Website Wonders: Berkeley Lunch Poems (YouTube Series)
My poetry professor actually showed me this series on YouTube, and I thought I would share it with you all. If you like poetry, this is fantastic, because you can listen to famous poets talk about their works while also reading their pieces aloud--for free. I found a couple I really enjoyed, which are below,… Continue reading Website Wonders: Berkeley Lunch Poems (YouTube Series)
Music Muse: My December
I haven't mentioned music which inspires my writing in a while, so I thought this song, considering December's arrival, would be a great one to mention. "My December" by Linkin Park is a lovely and mellow song, unlike some of their rocker songs. I love this song. I used to love it so much, I… Continue reading Music Muse: My December
Movie Mention: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2
So last week I went out to this YA movie--I am not huge on bashing authors, so I will not give an opinion on the Twilight debate--but I have to admit how much I enjoyed this movie. I have read all of the books, so I know the original ending and the alternate ending. Breaking… Continue reading Movie Mention: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2
