Friday in Review: YA Books as Hogwarts Houses

Happy Friday! Hallelujah for that! This week has been physically and mentally exhausting for me. I was up and out the door by 7:45 every morning and didn't get back till almost 4 every evening since I've been helping with the huge VBS camp thing my church does. There were fun moments and sweet times getting to watch the littlest ones and honestly it reminded me how much I missed when my little brothers were, well, littler and liked to snuggle and had loveys and all that fun stuff. But... I am so tired. Hence the small, simple post today. I wanted to put something bookish up today but I definitely do not have the mental capacity to write a book review. So instead, I give you my sorting of YA books as Hogwarts Houses. Please don't judge my sorting skills. I'm doing this while being super tired and possibly not thinking totally straight. But if anything I hope this post is fun and makes you smile. Let me know in the comments what books you would sort into each house.

Slytherin: For some reason this one seems easiest for me. I guess I read a lot of slytherin books? #slytherpuffproblems 

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black for sure 



Vicious and Vengeful by V. E. Schwab  (or you know, pretty much anything Victoria Schwab writes cus her and her books are as Slytherin as they come) 


Hufflepuff Weirdly enough this one was hard for me even though I am Hufflepuff. But like I said, I read a lot of Slytherin-ish books. But I chose these for their deep meanings and beautiful, hopeful themes. 

Fawkes Nadine Brandes 



Caraval by Stephanie Garber 



Ravenclaw This one was also rather easy... I chose these for their complex plots. The Gilded Wolves especially with its complicated plot and booksmart, super smart in general characters 
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi 


Stain by A. G. Howard 


Gryffindor and no surprise here, I don't read a whole lot of Gryffindor-ish books so if you think these are totally wrong let me know and recommend some epic books for epic Gryffindors. I chose these for their action filled plots and brave, courageous MC's 
The Hunger Games Suzanne Collins 


The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer 

Sooo yeah, let me know how I did in the comments and feel free to sort some YA books too. I'd love to hear what books you would sort into each house. Have a great weekend everyone. I will be spending this weekend recuperating, writing and reading and resting.

    Whoa! This is such an awesome idea! My color oriented mind just wants to match each color to the correct Hogwarts houses, but those do not make sense. Great picks for each one! I've only read The Lunar Chronicles, but I agree, it is definitely Gryffindor. :)

      Thank you! I love that idea actually. I'll have to save that away for a later post color coordinate the books by house. Glad you think I did a good job matching books and houses, I was worried I would get some of them wrong haha

    This was really interesting! Most of these books I haven't read, so I honestly can't say if they're accurate or not.
    But this list certainly gives me some ideas for more books to read!

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and...

How to Write A Survivalist Character During The Apocalypse

Hello friends! It's been a while... The last two weeks have been kind of nuts. The entire world is freaking out, everything's been turned upside down. Last week was rough... I had wanted to write out a birthday blog post and do something special on here for turning 22, but then everything happened and I was too stressed and I forgot to write anything, so that's kind of a bummer. I guess I could do it this week, but I feel like something else is needed for this week. I was thinking I should write some meaningful, hope-filled blog post. Write about what's going on in the world... but then I realized, everyone is already doing that. Social media is saturated with hope-filled positivity. And don't get me wrong, that's great! It's needed right now. To be honest though, Sunday night and into Monday I was getting pretty fed up with all the positivity. I think I was just overwhelmed and stressed, but I got pretty bitter and told my mom I was sick of hearing all th...

Five Tips for Getting in the Writing Mood

Happy June everyone!! I am both excited and a little anxious for this month... Excited because the twenty one pilots concert is at the end of the month and because my college class starts at the end of the month too (while also being a little anxious about it as well haha). Honestly, I don't know why I'm feeling a little off about this month... Maybe just cuz it feels like there's going to be a lot going on... I have an over the phone adviser meeting tomorrow and am helping at my church's VBS from 8 to 3 Monday through Friday next week. It'll be good but it's still a little daunting to think about :o But anyways! There's been this weird trend going on right now in my life. Just in the past week I've watched several live videos and authortube videos and read blog posts (most all of them about pantsers or having to do with pantsers in some way) and they all have included, well, pantser stuff but also how to stay in a writing mood. No one has mentioned h...
