I'm mildly hyper today. It might've been the extra cup of coffee. But none can truly tell.
I reread The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I've decided to read the whole series, and a friend or two have joined in the fun. It's great introducing them to one of my favorite books and discussing it in detail as we go along. Actually, my friend, Emly, is like Gansey in personality. She's just as dramatic and pretentious as he is. She likes things for the aesthetic. And she collects weird people who don't fit anywhere else. The best part is I get to have a wonderful time teasing her about it all.
[Apparently, my personality is like Adam's, so it's all fair. I get teased too.]
Currently, we're on The Dream Thieves. I'm loving it more than I did the first time. I haven't read the next two books though, so that'll be uncharted territory.
Another thing, The Manuscript Doctor [the editing company where I intern] has their new website up! Go check it out! It's beautiful. And I got to write a blogpost. It's about sequels and Golden Son by Pierce Brown [because when I'm not telling people about The Raven Cycle, I'm screeching like a pterodactyl about Red Rising].
The Manuscript Doctor also has other writing tips.
Dragon nerds, October shall bring exciting things to you very soon. Emly Holmes, Skye Hoffert from Ink Calamities, and I will be hosting an autumn blog tour! We're calling it The Book Spooktacular [and I'm definitely calling you all book spooks instead of dragon nerds]. There'll be lists, aesthetics, stories, and maybe even a link up. I am excite!
I've also been hiking lately. The trees and rocks are wonderful. And I've always enjoyed reading outdoors.
Other than that, I've been questioning everything in my life. [What else is new?] I'm looking for a second job, but businesses always take forever to look through the job applications they've collected. So I'm trying to be patient [yeah, right]. I'm also reassessing where I currently live and if it's possible to change that. I'm living in this odd in-between phase. I was hoping it would be over by now, but apparently, it's having too good a time rollicking through my life to leave.
How have you been? Anything exciting happening for you?
Ahhh! I'm so excited for this! It's going to be a blast.
ReplyDeleteI'm also now wondering which Raven Boy I am, maybe Adam???
Yes! I can't wait!
DeleteI don't know. That's a good question. I would think Gansey? Because everything has to fit into his aesthetics, and he also feels compelled to help and fix his friends?
Ooooh a blog tour?? I'm super excited, can't wait to see what you gals come up with! :D
ReplyDeleteI NEED to read The Raven Boys but it keeps getting knocked back on my TBR gah. I guess I need to fix that!
Thank you!
DeleteIt's really great! And it's not super stressful either, so if you're a fast reader, you can probably finish it unhindered. The writing style is brilliant for the setting and characters! And it always makes me think of autumn for some reason?
Blog tour sounds like a lot of fun! I love to see writers collaborating for stuff like this. I think it's really great to see the writing/blogging community interacting like that.
