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!

Happy Friday! So, they awesome Lily Cat tagged me in this fictional vacation/would you rather challenge and I am so excited to do this. It sounds so fun! Alright so here's the deal:   ~ Include the graphic  Madeline  made. ~ Answer the Questions  ~ Tag some other people if you feel so inclined Let's jump right into this!  Would you rather...  Train with demigods for the summer at Camp Halfblood OR attend Hogwarts to learn some spells for a semester? These movies were a disgrace to the books buuut I needed a gif so here you go haha How is this even a question? ;) Camp Halfblood of course! I adore the Percy Jackson series, so I would do just about anything to be a halfblood for the Summer. The real question is, who would my parent be?? My enneagram four side who loves being special and different wants me to be a kid of one of the big three... maybe Hades just to make myself extra special and unique from everyone else ;) But m...

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast...

Best Resources for Writers

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! So recently I've been doing a lot of craft-learning and have discovered some pretty awesome resources that have been so helpful to me. I'm also contemplating trying my hand at a How To guide for writers. I've already written a How to Write a Serial book and it just needs to be touched up. I think I might make it one of my freebies for my newsletter. So then not only do you get a short story but also a how to guide cuz I realized a lot of the newsletters I sign up for come with how to guides or writerly resources. But anyways, here are some of my favorite books/podcasts/blogs that have been so, so helpful to me over the past few months: Craft Books: Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel by Stephanie Morril and Jill Williamson: This one has a little bit of everything in it and is perfect for beginners. If you've just started plotting your novel, are in the middle of writing it or have begun the editing process this is a must have!  ...
