No End of Books

Yes, I know I haven't been posting.  Believe me, I don't like it.  However, I'm currently going through a very busy time, and I'm barely keeping up with other things.  So, this is an apology for being absent without notice.  I promise I'll be back!  Also, I'm sorry for not keeping up with all your amazing blogs.  I miss it very much. However, once life goes back to a more normal level of stress and work, I'm going to attempt to post at least once a week.  *tries really hard not to reconsider* So, there you have it.  I've been a terrible blogger, I'm going to be AWOL for a bit, and I'm going to actually try to be consistent!  Only one of those should be surprising.  😉 How are y'all doing?  Life treating you well?

Guess who started this post and then realized that the TTT linkup (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl ) coming up in three days happened to be the same thing?  So, enjoy.  And they probably won't all be book quotes.  Don't sue me.   1. “Taking your own life. Interesting expression - taking it from who? Once it’s over, it’s not you who’ll miss it. Your own death is something that happens to everybody else. Your life is not your own. Keep your hands off it.”  Sherlock Holmes (BBC Show, Season 4) And this one might actually be my favorite quote ever - it's so very thought-provoking.   2. All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. Fellowship of the Ring - J.R.R. Tolkien I actu...

See what I did there?  😊 Seriously, February has gone by very fast, even though each day moved fairly slowly.  I've done a lot of assignments, written a few short stories, and stayed alive.  That's always a good thing for me.  Also, I've been meaning to post more these past few weeks, but I have had no time - and I've been out of town.  Please accept these excuses and don't yell at me too much. Writing : Three short stories, for class.  I do like them, as rough drafts.  One is a romantic comedy in which four people die.  I didn't intend to kill them off, it just kind of . . . happened. That's about it, unfortunately.  Oh, unless you count the sonnet I wrote for another class.  With the additional writing this semester, I haven't even touched my WIPs recently.   Reading : The Spinner and the Slipper by Camryn Lockhart Perelandra by C.S.
