Five Fave Winter-y Books

Happy Thursday! Sorry this is a day late... I totally spaced and forgot to post it yesterday! :o

So I'm loving all the features Instagram has for their stories. I used the question feature to ask for suggestions on blog posts I should write. I want a fresh list of new ideas going into the new year so I can start out strong and be consistent on here. One of the suggestions I got was winter-y reads. I was going to do one on my writing journey buuut as I started writing it the post sort of turned into three posts... So I think I'm going to save that for January.

For now though, how's about a list of winter-y reads. Not Christmas books because I don't read a lot of books set near Christmas or themed as Christmas books, but as I thought about it, I have actually read quite a few books set in winter.

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.
I'm actually in the middle of reading this right now and so far it's so good! It's set in winter and is the perfect chilly read. Plus, Maggie Stiefvater is an absolutely fantastic writer.

The Lost Frost Girl by Amy Wilson.

This one was so fun to read! I read it last year and it was just so whimsical and cute. If you love Jack Frost and stories of self discovery, you'll love this one.

Winterling by Sarah Prineas.

I read this one a looong time ago. I think its set in winter?? But either way, the title Winterling fits so it works haha This was one of my favorite books when I was younger. The whole trilogy is so magical and the two main characters in it are so fun! Plus, I'm in love with this cover. I used want that jacket she was wearing so bad haha


The Edge of Everything by Jeff Giles.
This one is full of blizzards and cold snowy nights. Also lots of romance, bounty hunters from the underworld and a spunky protagonist who babbles a lot.

Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu.

Another super fun, cute and magical read. I really love this book. It touches on so many serious and deep topics while also remaining middle grade friendly and really, at its core, it's about best friends and braving a wintery wonderland and an ice queen to save each other.

So there you have it. I guess I've read a lot of middle grade winter-y books, but they're still fantastic. Just with less romance in them haha 

What are some of your favorite Christmas/winter reads??

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...
