A Beautiful Book to Add to Your TBR
Hello everyone, it’s Mattie! It’s been raining a lot lately, so for my post this week, I thought I would recommend a nice cozy book to read during the stormy weather. The book is Thorn by Intisar Kahnani. I read this last fall and introduced it a little in our Fall TBR video, but basically, this book is a retelling of the fairytale The Goose Girl. I have never actually read the original Goose Girl story, but I have read quite a few retellings. This one is my favorite by far. The story starts out with the main character Alyrra who is the princess of a small country in a…

A Little Progress Goes a Long Way
Hello everyone! Mattie writing today.I wanted to share a little about something I’ve been doing recently. For the past few months, I have been trying hard to turn two things I want to do into habits. The first is writing. While it may seem strange because I write on this blog, writing has never really been my thing. Sometimes I enjoy it, other times it seems like pulling teeth would be easier than trying to put my thoughts on a page. But ever since I participated in NaNoWriMo with Amelia last year, it made me realize I wanted to write, or at least wanted to want to write. Even though I failed miserably…
