As an English literature student and all around book lover, there is a plethora of books that have influenced my life. Books have the ability to let you think about the world in a different light, to open your eyes to something that you might not experience in your every day life. Books let peopleRead More
Character Playlist: Hazel Grace Lancaster
Going in a slightly different vein today by creating a playlist for Hazel Grace from The Fault in Our Stars! It was a little more difficult than the others, but you know, fits the type of music I listen to because her story is a pretty sad one and my family always tells me thatRead More

On Abandoning Books
We’ve all been there. You start reading a book that looks really promising, but for whatever reason, it’s just not clicking. The plot isn’t moving fast enough. The characters are ungodly irritating. The prose is seriously off-putting. But you owe it to the author to finish it, right? That’s what I always thought, at least.Read More

Character Playlist: Peeta Mellark
Eventually, I’ll start writing playlists for characters in the books that I’m currently reading, but these are characters that I love, and I really enjoy making playlists for them!

And IRead More
