Author: Magdalyn Ann
I'm a 20 something YA/Fantasy author looking to spread my stories around the world. My strengths seem to lie in procrastination, puppies and puns. Apparently alliteration as well.
June 2021 Update
It's been a hot minute, huh? 2020 took its toll on me pretty hard. I ended up going into a bit of an extended depressive episode where I couldn't read or write or really do anything I loved for a very long time. In the middle of it all, I was also let go from … Continue reading June 2021 Update
2020
I don't even have to say it, do I? It's been one hell of a year so far and uh... anything resembling normal has gone straight out the window. But some updates are in order, I guess. In January, I started a new job--outside of retail. A proper office job and everything. I miss the … Continue reading 2020
Looking Back on 2019
Welp. It's been a heck of a long time since my last blog. And a lot has happened since then. Unfortunately, I've left my job as children's librarian assistant. Which was frankly, one of the saddest things I'd ever done. I miss my gremlins and the staff so much. But, on the bright side, it … Continue reading Looking Back on 2019
Writing Update: Summer Daze
Har-de-har. Daze. Days. I'm a goshdang master of words y'all. It's been a little while. I've been focusing a lot of my energy on Booked All Night lately, as well as my job. I've since gotten a permanent position at a children's department in a different branch, so it's been kind of fun. The gremlins, I … Continue reading Writing Update: Summer Daze
April Goals
It's been a rough start to the year, y'all. I'm doing my damnedest to keep chugging along, but some days are worse than others and those days don't tend to see much good. With spring here and warmer days coming, maybe I'll be able to leave the house more often and get some work done. … Continue reading April Goals
Checking In
Well, it's been a while. I've never claimed to be good at this whole "blogging" thing. I tend to spend most of my time over at Twitter I'm not writing or reading. I tend to let the blog go on the backburner for a while. As I've clearly proved time and time again. I just don't … Continue reading Checking In
Children of Blood and Bone ★★★★☆½
I've been waiting for Children of Blood and Bone from the second it was announced. It's popped up every so often in my Twitter feed and every single time, my hype for it grew. Maybe my hype overshot the book, but I loved this amazing story--pacing issues aside. Zélie Adebola remembers when the soil of Orïsha … Continue reading Children of Blood and Bone ★★★★☆½

Granted ★★★★☆½
I initially requested Granted by John David Anderson because my good friend JM Tuckerman loved the cute opening chapter. I didn't think I'd fall in love with this book as hard as I did. From the author of beloved novels Ms. Bixby’s Last Dayand Posted comes a hilarious, heartfelt, and unforgettable novel about a fairy-in-training. Everyone who wishes upon … Continue reading Granted ★★★★☆½
