I Have MS

November 21, 2018.Reading time 13 minutes.

This might be the most difficult post I will ever write. This month has been brutal, to say the least. And I honestly hated being away from Adventures of a Bibliophile for so long. This has been my life for four years, and to not be able to read or write for the last few […]

Moving Forward

November 11, 2016.Reading time 6 minutes.

I’ve had a few days to think about this election. I spent a good thirty-six hours so angry I wanted to scream. Then, yesterday, I woke up not feeling like I wanted to cry. As I thought about why, Yoda’s words popped into my head: “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads […]

Things

October 29, 2016.Reading time 2 minutes.

There will be no wrap up this week. I had one half-written, almost ready to go up, but I can’t finish it. Yesterday, I lost my grandmother. It was unexpected and quick, and I don’t think I’ve fully processed it yet. I was lucky enough to spend the past two days with her, but it’s […]

Ignorance

January 17, 2016.Reading time 6 minutes.

I’ve also talked myself out of publishing this post as many times as I’ve written it (for good reason). But today – maybe it’s because I’ve been reading the […]

Meeting Neil Gaiman

November 15, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

I am writing this just after getting home from meeting one of my all-time favorite authors: Neil Gaiman. It was an absolutely amazing night! I wasn’t aware that he’s retiring from public life (at least for the time being), and I am so glad I was able to attend his final event. I thought actually […]

Update – How My Day Actually Went

August 24, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

This morning, I posted a bullet point list of an average day as part of the 30 Day Writing Challenge. However, since my day was marginally more interesting than the day I posted, I thought I’d give you an update on what today actually looked like. Wake up at 5am Press snooze twice Crawl out of […]
