What I'm doing during social distancing (discussion)

Hi! This is one idea I’ve had for a while and I wanted to take the time today to talk about it. I’m enjoying a lot of things during this time of social distancing, and so I will fill this post with recommendations. Before I get started, I know that my interests are very particular and not for everyone. What I’m watching Stars in the House (every day at 2 and  8 PM ET on The Actors Fund YouTube channel)  - recommend episodes- Kristin Chenoweth, Lea Salonga, the Stephen Sondheim, and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber celebrations. The biggest thing I’ve been enjoying right now is Stars in the House. This twice-daily concert series is filling the Broadway void in my heart until Broadway opens again. Not only do you get free concerts, but they’re also starting to do TV reunions, so those are a lot of fun. The performances and reunions are free, but they’re also raising money for The Actors Fund. Now more than ever, the actor needs to help people, not just actors, but anyone...

Top Ten Tuesday-Top signs you’re a bibliophile

Hi! I know I say this all the time, but I will be more active here. I’ve got some ideas for posts, and I miss writing posts. I took a short break because of the way the world is right now, but I’ve become more inspired over the last few days. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl The purpose of the meme was to make a list based on the topic of the week and building the book blogging community together. This week our prompt was the top ten signs you’re a book lover. I picked the word bibliophile because I love that word, and I think we should work it into conversations more. This is a simple list and is pretty self-explanatory, but I think that all readers will relate to my list. 1- You always have designated reading time This might just be me, but I feel it’s a known fact that we schedule our day around reading. At the moment, I have not been reading as much, because of our current situation; however, next month I would like to see if I can focus more on...

Top Ten Tuesday- YA Contemporary Fiction!

Hi! I know I say every week that I will try to make more posts here. This week, I want to get one or two more posts up about how I'm spending my time right now. Anyway. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This meme shares a love of books and lists and bringing the book blogging community together. This week, the prompt is a Genre Freebie, and I wanted to highlight some YA contemporaries I've loved over the last few years. 1- Fangirl You all know about my love for this book so I will keep this short. I love Cath and I deeply related to her and her story.  I recommend this book to anyone who loves fandom.  2- Comics Will Break Your Heart This was a book I talked a lot about last year. Like Fangirl, I related to the main character Miriam and her story. I loved Weldon because he was so sweet.  3- Tash Hearts Tolstoy I loved this book the year it came out. The story follows Tash, a teenager who makes a web series based on Anna Ka...

Top Ten Tuesday- Spring TBR

Welcome! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose is to bring the book blogging community together, and out of a love of lists. This week, the topic is Spring TBR. I want to read these books from April till June. 1- A Little Princess (Written Before 2010) This is a classic I want to work into my Beat the Backlist this year. I might have seen a movie version but never read the book. It seems I will love Sarah. 2- The Untold Stories of Broadway (owned for over two years) This is another pick for my Beat the Backlist. I should have read this before this point. The book will be a high priority. My book is signed because I met the author at Broadway Con in 2015.  3- Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus # 3) (Author you want to meet) I have the rest of the series now I just need to read them. I'm excited to get back into this series and this world. I would love to meet Rick Riordan one day.  4- Mark of Neptune (...

TTT- authors I love following on social media

Hi! Last week got crazy but I'm back now. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . The weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. The topic of the week is authors with a fun social media presence submitted by  Kitty Marie’s Reading Corner , but I turned this into Authors I love following on social media. I love a fun social media account, and I'm more active on Twitter, so I put links to those accounts. 1- Jenny Han-https://twitter.com/jennyhan I love her series To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Jenny is fun because she posts about life and the world.  2- Jay Kristoff- https://twitter.com/misterkristoff Jay's account is so much fun because he will interact with fans and retweet fan art, and fan-made projects.  I just adore everything he tweets. I have read none of his books yet, but I plan to this year.  3- Holly Black-https://twitter.com/hollyblack Holly Black has a b...

Top Ten Tuesday- books or series I wish I read as a teen

Hello! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . The eme was born out of a love of list and bringing the book blogging community together. This week's topic was single word titles submitted by   Kitty from Kitty Marie’s Reading Corner. I don't know that many to do ten, and I was not feeling the topic. Here are ten books I wish I had read as a teen. Most of these I enjoyed as an adult, but I would have loved them as a teen  as well .  The Percy Jackson Series As a teen, I would have eaten up this mythology series. I've always had a love of history, and mythology, and this would have been perfect. The first book was out when I was a teen, I just never knew about them.  A Court of Thorns and Roses series This series came out in 2015, and I really enjoyed it. Honestly, as a teen, this book series would have been my introduction to fantasy, and maybe I would read more fantasy today if I had read these as a teen.  Fangirl ...
