Ashley’s October Wrap Up

10.31.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

I love reading in October. As silly as it might sound, it gives me a good excuse to read spooky and creepy books and I am entirely here for it. They’re not always ones that I will pick up in the rest of the year, but I definitely indulged this month! I have to admit that I wasn’t amazing at sticking to my TBR for the month but I did end up reading 20 books and finally breaking 200 books read this month!

Ashley’s October Book Haul

10.30.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

October is not the traditional month to go crazy when buying things, but it is a month where I start to get more into the swing of the school year. Things get super busy and hectic and I get more stressed. In order to combat that stress, I tend to want to treat myself. I know that’s not sure healthy, but it did help make me feel a little better. That being said, I picked up a few cool books this month. You’ll find them below the cut!

**Disclaimer: I received an advanced reader’s copy of The Family Upstairs from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell is an adult mystery thriller set in London. It is about a young woman named Libby who comes into an unexpected inheritance and an unexpected family history. The book is set to be published on November 5th. I gave it five stars on Goodreads.

Writing Wednesday | Falling Lies

10.23.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

So, I have loved to write for a long time.  I haven’t always been the most consistent with it, and sometimes I am super terrible about following through with things that I started.  I used to be better and worse at the follow through.

As I was thinking about posts for the blog, I was thinking about Writing Wednesdays that I wanted to do, and I found myself struck by nostalgia.  I wanted to look at some of my old writing and I found a story I had written when I was in my final year of high school.  After re-reading, I thought it might be fun to share it with you all.  It’s called Falling Lies and you will find it below the cut.

Tag Tuesday | This or That

10.22.2019 by Ashley // Leave a Comment

One of the things I know about people is that they tend to be pretty opinionated.  I am definitely that realm sometimes, but I have to admit that I have some serious moments of indecisiveness.   Because of my indecisiveness and the fact that I read Hamlet recently with my class, I thought it might be fun to make myself do a tag where I have to make some decisions.

Hi friends 💙 So we all know Geralt is from the Hi friends 💙

So we all know Geralt is from the school of the Wolf. However, there’s also the Cat (also known to produce “evil”), Bear, Griffin, Viper, Manticore, and Crane. I think I’d like to be part of the Wolf or the Bear or Viper schools to be honest!

That being said, what are some of your favorite books with animals in them?

Hi friends! 💙 Hope your Sunday is going well. Hi friends! 💙

Hope your Sunday is going well. I just finished by case brief and compare and contrast for my class, so I’m feeling rather accomplished right now.

What are you currently reading?

Right now I’m reading A Song of Wraiths and Ruins. It’s so good!

I’m excited to pick up this badass lady series as well.
