Lately on Mostly YA Lit | Summer & Fall 2017

Hi guys, you may have noticed that things have been a bit slow around here. I wanted to give you an update on what’s been happening. It’s been a massively busy and emotional last few months, especially since I first announced that I was pregnant. So here’s what I’ve been up to. My grandmother: Without a doubt, the single thing that has defined the last few weeks has been my grandmother’s death. She passed away on September 1, and I’m still mourning and trying to process that last week with her. I’m so grateful that we were able to be […]

Friday Rants: Blogger Guilt and a Blog Manifesto

Friday Rants: Blogger Guilt and a Blog Manifesto

Disclaimer: this post is really for me. Proceed if you want something personal; do not pass go if you’re not interested in my personal thoughts. Happy Friday, everyone! So even though I’ve had my new computer for almost three weeks, it took me awhile to get myself to write again. You may have noticed that despite my “I’m back” message last week, I wasn’t REALLY back until yesterday. This is because, frankly, it’s hard to come back to blogging after over a month away. As much as I love blogging and writing, I have to admit that having the time […]

Personal Friday, or What I’m Reading Over the Holidays

Hey everyone! Next week I’m participating in the Top Ten of 2012, so you’ll see all of my lists for this year and next. I’m also hoping to catch up on a few reviews and reading to get ready for the insane January and February that’s coming. So this is what I’ll be reading for the next few days: Mind Games by Kiersten White – so excited about my first Kiersten White book. Look out for a review in January! Janie Face to Face by Caroline B. Cooney – This is a beloved series for me, and I’ve had this […]

Personal Friday: My band, Bitter Foes (and my fiance), and The Friday Society book launch!

Personal Friday: My band, Bitter Foes (and my fiance), and The Friday Society book launch!

So another thing you guys probably don’t know about me is that I’m really into singing. I took a bit of a break from it for awhile (six years?!), but it’s always sort of been with me. We’re called Bitter Foes, obvs.  A couple of years ago, my fiance (then boyfriend) decided we should finally start a band – we’d been talking about it for ages; he’s a pretty talented songwriter, guitarist, singer, keyboardist…he’s basically an amazing musician all around.  We got together a couple of our other friends and this was the result:  Our awesome guitarist, drummer and bassist.

(Notso) Personal Friday: YA for NJ starts today! Go bid now!

Today’s post will have a few cute pics of my pets, but I really wanted to spotlight something bigger than myself. I’m talking about Kieran Scott‘s YA for NJ eBay auctions that start tonight. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast of the US earlier this month. A lot of people lost their homes and belongings in floods, especially people in New Jersey.  In order to help with rebuilding efforts, Kieran (author of the She’s So Dead to Us series, the PRIVATE and PRIVILEGE series, and countless other YA novels that I’ve […]

Personal Friday: I think I might want to be a florist…or a party planner.

Personal Friday: I think I might want to be a florist…or a party planner.

Check out the decor and the food for my BFF’s baby shower last weekend (And yes, Ontario book bloggers, this was the day after the Meet-Up – it was a crazy weekend)! Flowers to greet the guests – this was my favorite arrangement that I did. Each guest also brought a baby picture of themselves. I photocopied each picture, and the copy was pasted into the guestbook along with a message from the guest in question. The photo there is of me, by the way. =)   Flowers for the coffee table, along with gifts! The flowers looked better in […]

Personal Friday: Introducing Rocky and the Movie You Should Watch Now

Personal Friday: Introducing Rocky and the Movie You Should Watch Now

So instead of Photo Friday, I’ve decided to call this Personal Friday because it’s always going to be a glimpse into my life. You knew the other one was going to show up at some point. This is Rocky. He’s Jackie’s brother, and he is TOTALLY awesome. Rocky is a dog masquerading as a cat – he loves to cuddle, he loves people and family, he comes and licks our faces all the time, and he has no problem being told what to do. Except when it’s dinner time – then he just wants us to feed him pronto. But […]
