• ⏰ Honesty Hour ⏰ ••• If you haven’t read my latest post on the blog yet, here’s the latest news. After much consideration, I’ve decided to take some time off from blogging. A hiatus, if you will. • I've thought of millions of ways to write this post, but then I'd decided to just say screw it and come out and say it. And before you ask, no I'm not leaving. More like taking a break to regroup. • I think I've known for a while that I needed to make some changes to this blog. It's not that I don't love writing about books, characters, and bookish things. It's that it's not all that I am anymore. I'm more interested in talking about other things like music, movies, TV shows (even though I'm bad at watching them and keeping up with them lol) • Giving you guys updates on my life is another thing I want to do more on here. I don't usually discuss my personal life outside of my own private circle because I do have people I want to protect. But at the same time, after 5 years of blogging, I still don't think you guys know me. I don't want to be another pretty face on the blogosphere that you follow from time to time. I want to know you guys and your life as much as you know me. • I also want to include discussions on social issues, especially intersectional social issues, like feminism, women's issues, LGBTQIA issues, black women's rights, mental health. I'm very pro-mental health; I believe fully in taking care of yourself and doing whatever you need to do to provide for yourself. • This is not to say I'm completely abandoning talking about books and bookish things. I'll still find ways to incorporate books into my blog; it won't be as prominent as before, along with other topics I'm passionate about. I just don't want to be stuck in a box anymore. • #honesty #honestyhour #iloveyouguys #bookstagram #bookblogger #blogger #writer #journalist #writing #reading #evolvetogether #changestartswithyou

  • Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 (even though I don’t celebrate it lol) • On a serious note, I hope you guys enjoy your holiday. I’ll be lurking my TL to see everyone’s costumes and parties. • Today’s the LAST DAY of Bookending Autumn 2019 😭😭 I’d like to give thanks to both @fictionallysam and @cuppaclo for allowing me to be their host for the first time ever. It was a lot of fun creating prompts and reading everyone’s answers and book choices. I hope to come back soon for another Bookend Event. 🍂 • In the meantime, read which characters I’ve picked to Bond/Bewitch/Drown (Halloween version of Kiss/Marry/Kill created by Sam!) link to read is in my bio • #beautumn2019 #beautumn19 #bookendingautumn2019 #bookstagram #booklover #fall #autumn #kissmarrykill #childrenofbloodandbone #twilight #toalltheboysivelovedbefore #mortalinstruments #shadowhunters #happyhalloween #halloween2019

  • 😈 Who’s excited for the new #maleficent sequel movie?? 😈 • For today’s Bookending Autumn 2019 post, @jamsudreams prompt is Garden of Evil, where we have to describe our favorite villain. • Not only is Maleficent such an interesting character, but she also has such an enchanting backstory of where she came from. She's a descendant of faeries! She's powerful, resourceful, cunning, and determined. Maleficent initially used Princess Aurora as a pawn to get back at the King for taking her wings away, but as she got to know Aurora as a person, she grew to love her. Even after casting the spell against true love, her friendship with Aurora was what saved her life. Talk about character development!! • To Read more on Maleficent, visit my blog PoetryBooksYA (link in bio) • #maleficent #maleficentmistressofevil #disney #sleepingbeauty #maleficentxaurora #aurora
