Two Long Years

 It's been two long years since my last post and I'd love to say that I remember this blog like it was meant to be but that would mean that I have been thinking about it every day since that last post and I just can't say that. In two years though I've read a little over a hundred books. Reading took a back seat. But since my last post was in January of 2022 I can say that it's been a rough time. What was supposed to be a breeze has not been. We've been dealing with bullying teachers. Dual enrollment. Marching Band. Bullying from peers. It's been a long two nearly three years. I'll do a short reintroduction to me in my next post. Whenever that may be. Stick with me and maybe we'll see how long I can remember to post. <3 Annie

2022 Goals

So, let's jump right into it. I've set some goals for the year and I'm pretty well positive that they may be a little unrealistic. Hey, I'm nothing if not positive when it comes to my reading. I like to try and say I'm definitely going to get this done only to know I'm not going to get this done. I would say that this is not a bad habit but I know pretty well that this is in fact a bad habit. It's a bad habit that I probably need to kick but I'm just so consistent with it. So let's talk about those goals real quick. I want to make the attempt to read at least 52 books. They can be anything. I'm going to be picky. They can be short stories, full novels, manga, graphic novels, the sky is the limit when it comes to reading. I mean I'm not putting a limit on the type. However, I've got some smaller goals that I'd like to look at accomplishing as well and they will be accomplished with my big goal of 52 books. I want to read about 10 to 15

Safe New Years

 I hope everyone had a great New Years! I hope you were safe during your New Year's Even fun! So sit back relax and let's jump right on into the year of 2022.  I have a few exciting things planned for this year. A few things that may change as well that was planned late last year. I've already had to start making adjustments to things as I go into the year. Some reading themes had to be redone but fear not for the most part they are all happening. I've already started looking at ideas for my freestyle writing. I've come up with a couple of ideas but honestly terrified to put them out there. It is what it is though. I hope you guys are having a wonderful long weekend. I'm going to enjoy my time off a little more before I go back to the grind with subbing!

Happy New Year

 I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year. I would normally post this on the 1st but seeing as how the 1st does not land on my posting schedule I'm posting it a day early, because my next post we are going to be jumping right on in. We made it through 2021. I hope you come and join me in my journey through 2022. Live a day in my life as a... Substitute Teacher... Mother... House Wife... and Wannabe Author. Journey with me through writing a story. Maybe Fantasy. Maybe Historical Fiction. Maybe something with Spice. Only time will tell what I may write. But for now Let us close the book on this year/chapter and prepare for a new chapter in this book called life.

Did I Hit My Goals?

  I did not set very large goals for myself this year. Over the last two years my reading declined a great deal. I wanted to be realistic about my reading goals. I thought back over the years at what I read the most and what I wanted to read this year. I know my reading taste have changed a great deal over the years. When I started reading again heavily in August of 2014 I was really into Young Adult. That was really all I was picking up. However, as I have gotten older I have discovered that I have different taste now. I still enjoy Young Adult don't get me wrong. Some of my favorite books to this day are young adult books. So what were my goals over the course of this year? Let's run over them real quick. I wanted to read a grand total of 12 books this year. I wanted to read over 10,000 pages. I wanted 5 to be Manga. Trying to step out of my comfort zone. I wanted 5 to be romance. I've been reading a lot of romance in the last year. I wanted 2 of those books to be middle
