In My Blogging Life
Well, things
look a little different around here. I love Victorian-era periodicals, so I
used them as the inspiration for my blog redesign. It’s very much a
work-in-progress. I also made an About Me page, so you can learn all sorts of
fascinating stuff about me.
In My Reading Life
Last week, I
read Places I Never Meant To Be: Original
Stories By Censored Writers. This is an anthology of stories and essays
edited by Judy Blume. I also read Simon vs
The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Right now, I’m struggling
through Magonia by Maria Dahvana
Headley. I’m not enjoying it, but I don’t hate it enough to DNF. I’m hoping
that it gets better.
I hope you had a great week. I’ll see you
around the blogosphere.
Your blog changed!! I love the new look! :P It's too bad that you're not enjoying Magonia. That one is on my TBR so I'm looking forward to seeing your final thoughts!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Weekly Recap!
I’m almost finished with Magonia now. I’m glad I didn’t DNF it because it does get better, but staying interested in it has been a struggle.

I'm looking forward to your 5 to 1 review. The unique plot of that book really caught my eye. I loved Simon vs! Such a sweet and funny read. The blog looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
I loved Simon, too. It’s one of my favorite books so far this year.

Wild sounds interesting, I think a memoir about hiking the PAcific trail would be really interesting. And your following discussion got me thinking- I generally follow back too, but I can see why it's not always feasible. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the blog, and changing the design can be stressful- seems like something always goes wrong, or not according to plan. Good luck with your changes!
I liked Wild a lot. And changing the blog design was hugely stressful. It felt like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Sometimes the same thing went wrong multiple times.

I really like the new look! Looking forward to what you thought of Simon vs. - I have the audio I want to get to after I finish the Lunar Chronicles. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI loved Simon. A lot of reviews made it sound sweet and fluffy, but it actually has a lot more depth than I expected.

I opened your blog and was taken aback... I worried I'd just forgotten what it looked like so was relieved to hear you had a makeover. I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about breaking your blog however... :-(
Thanks! I’m slowly trying to fix the things that got messed up.
