3 Comments

Exciting news people!

I’ve just established a partnership with author and book blogger Dane Cobain and we’ve already arranged a few projects together! The first is for us to come up with 5 words, I’ll send them over to Dane, he’ll write a poem with them and they I’ll publish it here for you guys to see the result 😀

So all you have to do is hurry up, think of a word and leave it in the comment section below. First 5 will be sent to Dane! Hurry hurry 😉

Apologies

Dear all,

Life’s been crazy around here. Ever since summer started I haven’t stopped for a bit (my friends would have killed me by now if they could even land their eyes on me by more than a second! 🙈). This resulted in me not having time for thinking about how I want to restructure the blog like I had promised I would. My apologies for that.

But I am back. Life is still crazy, my reading rhythm has slowed down significantly but this is a project I care about and that I want to keep working on. I won’t make promises about consistency or frequency at this point because, honestly, I’m still not sure how I want this to evolve. All I know is I want to make it more “me” and more creative while still heavily connected to books and reading and fandoms and all those things that make our heads spin. This “crazy” period of life I’m still going through has been helping me form some general ideas I would like to implement. Let’s see how it goes, shall we? 🙂

All I ask you is to be patient, like you’ve always been so far, this is process for me too and no matter how long and bumpy it might be I’m sure it will end with good results!

Lastly, a million times thank you for sticking around! 😘💕

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm.

Thank you for hosting!

 

My Teaser:

“-But how? – Olive demanded. Her question reflected off the stone walls, each echo wasking again.

Emma stood up.

–I’ll tell you how – she said, and all eyes went to her – We’ll walk – she said it such conviction that I got a chill – We’ll walk and walk until we come to a town.

-What if there’s no town for fifty kilometers? – said Enoch.

-Then we’ll walk for fifty-one kilometers.”
