Beta Readers & Querying
Hello again everyone! Since my last post, I have practically finished editing and polishing my manuscript. I had been editing since December last year, so I think I've spent enough time on it. I know I'm ready to move on! Anyway, I forgot to post this a month ago when I was looking for beta … Continue reading Beta Readers & Querying

My Quarantined Life
Hello everyone. I've been very absent lately. I don't have a good excuse at all! I've been in quarantine since mid-March. Before quarantine, I was travelling into the city twice a week for work, and a few of the other days I was working another job. It really varied week-to-week. Because of quarantine, I haven't … Continue reading My Quarantined Life

Travel Diary: Berlin and Munich, Germany

Bon Voyage – The Books I’m Taking to Europe
Hi everyone! I know, I barely ever post anymore. How's life? I don't really have a good excuse for being so absent, unless writing a thesis, raising a puppy, and working a part-time job counts. In theory, I could have posted something, but, at the end of each day, I guess I preferred watching Netflix … Continue reading Bon Voyage – The Books I’m Taking to Europe
Again, But Better by Christine Riccio (review)
Shane has been doing college all wrong. Pre-med, stellar grades, and happy parents…sounds ideal – but Shane's made zero friends, goes home every weekend, and romance…what’s that?
