Summary: Simon Snow is the worst Chosen One who's ever been chosen.
That's what his roommate, Baz, says. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but he's probably right. Carry On - The Rise and Fall of Simon Snow is a ghost story, a love story and a mystery. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell story - but far, far more monsters.

Lyric art of Ariana Grande's Be Alright edited by me. Available on @hiraeth.vellichor on Instagram! Wow, what a month June 2020 has been! Despite my best efforts, I feel like I'm falling apart here (just a little bit). I've learned so much about the history of POC, I've participated in activism events, and I've been called more slurs in the past week than anyone should ever be called. It's been a wild ride. So obviously, I've had my hands full with social justice and activism, but you may wonder: what else has Marissa Seuss been doing in lieu of posting on her blog (shame on me!)?
Summary: Emma Lane’s forced to face her fears when her mother unceremoniously dumps her on the doorstep of Camp Mapplewood, abandoning her for the summer while she heads off on a cruise with her latest husband. It’s the last place Emma wants to be with scary creatures, creepy crawlies, and much that can go bump in the night. When Emma breaks into the tool shed on her first day there, the fall out from her escapades leads her right into the path of her counsellor, Vivian Black. . . . I know what everyone is probably thinking right now: RuPaul's Drag Race is about to start its 13th season, why are you talking about the first season now? Well, you see, when RPDR's first aired in 2009, I was only six years old and I was somewhat far from becoming the openly queer individual I am today. So, here's my overall thoughts on RPDR's Season 1 eleven years later.
As I've mentioned a few times, I took a short trip to Hocking Hills State Park in Hocking County, Ohio at the start of June. I love to travel and I hope that as an adult, I do it often. I would love to study abroad in Spain, spend summers sightseeing in Canada or Mexico, or hiking in the Grand Canyon.
When you love travel as much as I do, you pick up a few tips as time passes. Here's my best advice for hiking that I've compiled over time. Warning: the following review may contain mild spoils for Educated: a Memoir by Tara Westover. Summary: "Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty and of the grief that comes with severing the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted a universal coming-of-age story that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers: the perspective to see one's life through new eyes and the will to change it."
Summary:
"Eight years ago an earthquake—the Big One—hit along the Cascadia fault line, toppling cities and changing landscapes all up and down the west coast of the United States. Life as we know it changed forever. But for Vietnamese-American Virginia Crane, life changed shortly after the earthquake, when her mother left and never came back. Ginny has gotten used to a life without her mother, helping her father take care of her two younger brothers, Wes and Harry. But when a mysterious package arrives for her eighteenth birthday, her life is shaken up yet again. For the first time, Ginny wants something more than to survive. And it might be a selfish desire, but she's determined to find out what happened to her mother—even if it means leaving her family behind." I don't have all of Cassandra Clare's books, but I do have quite a lot of her books. I've collected books ever since I can remember. I have over 250 now. Here's some more I would like to add to my large collection.
