July Recap

 Hey, friends! So it's been awhile. I didn't realize how badly I needed a hiatus. It took until I had pretty much no ideas before I took an actual break. So, July was a pretty good month. It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't a bad month.
Books I Read in July




Movies/Shows I Watched in July


Season 3 and part of Season 4
I'm thinking that, at this point, I really need to do a review of what I've seen so far. Let me know if you'd like to see that.

Season Two and part of Season Three
My dad bought a DVD set with all seven seasons, so we've all been re-watching it! It's such a fun show, and I adore it.

My family and I finally finished Community! I prefer the earlier seasons, but some of the later seasons are really good, too.
Events of July
-I got some more writing done! I'm now about halfway through my WIP [I think. It may end up being longer or shorter].
-A lot of my mom's family visited this month, and we visited a lot of places. It was fun, but a little exhausting.
-I also did a fair amount of work this month. Usually it isn't too bad, except for a few nights.
-Also, I just practiced some of my usual hobbies.
-I dyed my hair
Okay, technically, I streaked it. The thing no one ever tells you about dying your hair is that it's slightly scary right before you do it, but I loved how it looked, and I kind of want to do it again.
Here's the before and after, by the way.

So, what about you all? Did you do anything interesting this month?

    I hope you had a nice hiatus. It sounds like you had a nice month, and that's awesome that you're halfway through your WIP. :D

    Glad your July was good for the most part.
    What did you think of Persuasion?
    Love National Treasure! Parks and Rec is a comfort show for me at this point.
    Also I love the hair streaks. I feel like doing something drastic to my hair so at this current moment I'm living vicariously through the people who are actually doing things to it.

      Thanks! I hope yours was good, too.
      I liked it! It wasn't my favorite Jane Austen book, but I thought it was really good.
      It is! It's a family tradition to watch it on Independence Day every year. It's one of mine too, I think. It's so good.
      Thank you! Doing something drastic to your hair is usually scary, but worth it.

      Ooh, I've definitely thought of doing that. I just need to actually write the post.

August Recap

Hi, again. Basically I’m going to start doing a recap of each month. It’s popular among the blogging community. So, let’s see how August went. Posts Made in August Yeah, so there were quite a few made in August. My favorites were all of the chapters of my fanfic, doing my Q&A and answering all the awesome questions Diamond gave me. My most popular post this month was the answers to my Q&A Books Read In August Yeah, so I actually only read one book this month. Ideally, I would have read more but I enjoyed this one. 5/5 stars. It was very exciting and intriguing. Now, if only I could find the next two books in the series…… Best and Worst Book Read This Month Like I said earlier I only read one book so that’s my favorite. Movies & TV Shows Watched This Month Great movie, good music, way better plot than the second one. There were still some inconsistencies but overall it was very good. 4.5/5 stars. Hilarious movie. I mean, it is a comedy so it’s n...

The Fandom Tag

Image
 So, um, long time no see, right? I really did mean to write more blog posts and I don't really have a good excuse besides ''whoops.'' I've been feeling uninspired when it comes to blogging and I've been busy with other projects *cough* binge-watching Criminal Minds. Buuuuuut I'm back now and what better way to come back than with a tag?  Yes, I know I do a lot of tags. Work with me here.  Especially a tag about one of my favorite things ever: fandoms!  The Questions What's the first fandom that you remember joining? Harry Potter! I don't like JK Rowling as a person (we don't support transphobia here, folks), but those books were my entire childhood. I read and re-read the books, watched all the movies, played Harry Potter with my siblings......all that good stuff. What's the newest fandom you've come to enjoy? Welllllll......lately I've been absolutely obsessed with Hazbin Hotel ! When I say obsessed, I mean obsessively listening...

Six Books With LGBTQIA+ Characters That You Should Add to Your TBR

Image
 Greetings, friends! So, June is Pride Month, and yet I haven't done any posts on it yet. I have one that's about writing LGBTQIA+ characters well, but that's sort of long and involved, so I'm starting with this.  This isn't really in any specific order, and they vary in genre quite a bit, so some books may appeal to you, and some might not. OK, onto the actual post. Disclaimer: All summaries are taken from Goodreads.  #1: These Witches Don't Burn by Isabel Sterling Summary: Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg [read: non-witch], she could lose it. For good. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend [and fellow Elemental Witch], Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and...
