*sings aggressively* Spring semester is over! Well, I just need to wait for feedback from my mentor, but I've submitted all of my work and I'm ready to relax! This past semester has been really rough. I went through a lot of lows. I spent a lot of time fighting my depression and it took … Continue reading Free for the Summer!
Lots of awesome books are coming out in May! I've got a few I've got waiting on the edge of my TBR pile and I'm excited to tear into them. Strange the Dreamer Technically, this one came out in April, but I've got my eyes set on this one for May. I originally bought Strange the … Continue reading May TBR
I've been reading a lot lately, and I've racked up quite a list. Some of my favorite reads this month span from contemporary all the way to high fantasy.

The semester is coming to a close a little too quickly for my liking; I've got less than two weeks to go before I'm done with my first year at SNC!

Usually when I'm stuck at home and writing, it's hard to remember that what I do is relatively … Continue reading Revitalizing Myself
It's October! I keep promising to keep up with this blog more, but I always end up crushed under a pile of other responsibilities that this ends up being the first casualty. So. I'm back! Maybe! So I was recently accepted in Sierra Nevada College's Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children & Young … Continue reading Reading & Writing & Surviving
I have officially opened my doors to freelance editing! I've been editing on the side and working as an editor and reader for several projects for a few people from time to time and I figured since I love it so much, I'd like to make a career out of it. You can read more … Continue reading Editing Services
If you've ever been curious as to what I've read (or have not been able to finish reading!) last month, here's your answer! I've posted a new video to my booktube channel! Check it out here!
I've picked up booktubing--in an attempt to be more active in bookish communities, I've started a YouTube channel called "alebookstacks" to vlog about bookish stuff! I've only got one video up so far (it took me four hours from recording to finally getting it posted; YouTube is not easy), but I'll have more soon!
