my 2020 popsugar reading challenge results
i remember one of the first things i ever wrote about on this blog was the 2019 popsugar reading challenge. i never updated you on my results, mostly because of the fact that i failed miserably. but, since we’re edging towards the end of this year, i wanted to tell you the books i read…

my brief musings on the twilight saga
before starting the series about two months ago, i had only laughed at the twilight movies with my friends and cousin (who read the books when the series came out). the movies were just another example of an exaggerated teen rom-com to me (and to many others who watched them). but, after reading the series…

unfinished
when the midsummer slump hits, i start to create to fill the boredom. i draw (poorly), begin random novels in fits of inspiration, and even write blogposts that seemingly have no end. this summer, i’ve even taken up learning guitar (i’m two lessons in and can barely strum my way through a warm up). but,…
