my HP reading experience: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Before this summer I had not read or watched the Harry Potter books and movies. I started reading them back in June to surprise someone special and ended up a huge fan along the way!

rolling with the blogging momentum
I've recently started reading (read: falling in love with) the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicle - The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's a great book and I could talk about it for days. Patrick Rothfuss' blog is host to a myriad of great pieces regarding his day-to-day and his most recent … Continue reading rolling with the blogging momentum

I've … Continue reading blog update + mini WordPress review
Your innermost self.
Sometimes I think about how there are some things about you that other people will never know about. Recently, I found myself checking in on my siblings' rooms to make sure their blankets weren't covering them too tightly. It's a habit I've begun to do subconsciously every night ever since they were toddlers. Pretty soon … Continue reading Your innermost self.

Something I've realized is that the key to really great reading material is found at the intersection of having something to say and believing that what you're saying is worth listening to. I think the first thing is fairly straightforward. You … Continue reading Writing something worth reading.
