Down the Rabbit Hole

Happy last day of 2022!!  Unlike in years past, I'm very excited for the new year. I graduated college and will be working more and getting more time to work on my books. I feel like there's so much in store for me and I can see so many good things happening next year. It's all in God's hands, which makes me even more excited to see what He has planned for me.  In past years I think I held myself a bit by staying in my comfort zone too much. Nothing big or new ever really happened because I never put myself out there or jumped into new situations. I stayed in my comfort zone for too long, and because of that, the years started to feel a little stagnant. I'm thankful that everything that happened between 2020 and 2022, good and bad, really pushed me out of that comfort zone. In 2022 God did so many amazing things, and some of it is because I stepped out and put myself in uncomfortable situations. I'm so glad I did. Because of that I have an amazing new church, am...

 Happy Wednesday!  2022 is three days from being over. We made it guys! Another year checked off the list. This year has been packed full of so much. So much to be thankful for and so much to learn from. It's always a good year when you can look back and realize you're finishing the year better than the way you started. I've already written a post about all the big life stuff that happened this year, so for now, let's talk books!  Favorite Books of 2022:  A Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber  Definitely one of my favorites of 2022! I love all of Stephanie Garber's books so much, but her Once Upon a Broken Heart series has to be my favorite so far. I relate to Evangeline so much and I love Jacks so, so much. I can't wait to see what happens in book 3!  Stellarlune by Shannon Messenger  Stellarlune!! My absolute love! Another top favorite book of the year! This book gave me everything I could have wanted. The Great Foster Oblivion is quite possibl...

Happy Wednesday!  How was your guys’ New Years and holidays? Mine was good, I always love going into a New Year, though I think last year I was more excited for 2021 than I am for 2022. I find myself going into 2022 in a weird headspace. At the moment, I feel a little like I’m taking it one step at a time and going through the motions. I set my goals, I wrote a blog post about the things I’m looking forward to this year, I’m editing and I’ve fallen in love with a new story idea... but I still feel like I’m in a weird spot. I usually am so excited for a new year to start. Last year, even amongst all the hard I was going through during December and January, I was excited for 2021 (probably just because I was ready for 2020 to be over haha). But I'm not overly thrilled or excited for 2022. I’m kind of sad that Christmas is over. Christmas feels like it went by too quickly and I think maybe it has something to do with me knowing that next week I start some of my final college classes a...

 Happy Friday and Last Day of 2021!  I am both nervous and excited for a new year. Coming into 2021 felt like stepping into a new season. I let go and left a lot of things in 2020, some harder than others to leave behind. But as I enter 2022 I feel like I'm taking things with me and I'm stepping into my final year of college. I have two semesters left. This spring and the summer and then I am done. I'm nervous about what that's going to look like in the fall. My first fall in years without any college classes. But I also know that God has it all in hand. He has a plan and I don't have to worry about what's going to come next because I trust that He will take care of me and provide for me. If 2020 and 2021 has taught me anything, its that God's plans are always great than ours and I can never predict what might happen next.  Now! Onto the fun stuff!  Books I'm Looking Forward to in 2021:  Wishtress by Nadine Brandes She didn't ask to be the Wishtress....
