Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor – 4.5 stars This was at least my third time reading this book and it’s still incredible. I’m not typically a big fan of YA or fantasy, but this book is just so well written and every time I read it I remember just how moved I Continue reading

Book Reviews – Third Quarter of 2023
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus (3.5-3.75 stars) I liked this book okay, and it was very easy to read, but I feel like there were too many things I didn’t like. I really disliked the main character, and because of that it was really hard to enjoy the book as a whole. My least Continue reading

Book Reviews – Second Quarter of 2023
The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (3.25 stars) I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about this one before I started it, but I ended up enjoying it.

“Be the Main Character”
The other day, I watched a YouTube video discussing and criticizing the prevalent idea of “being the main character” of your own life, or “romanticizing your life”. These ideas have had particular success on TikTok, and are defined by this method of living where you try to make your life ~aesthetic~, oftentimes focusing on “treating Continue reading

Let us Just Love One Another

Last month, BYU removed the clause on “homosexual behavior” from their honor code. Students, LGBT+ and not, celebrated. Gay students were finally allowed to be themselves and love who they wanted to without fear of repercussions. Many students were wary at first, but when students went straight to the source and asked the Honor Code Continue reading
