Hey y'all! Long time no write. I just started my senior year of high school, so I'm super busy. I'm settling into classes and getting into the swing of doing homework again. I really love my classes so far, but they're going to keep me busy! Especially AP Lit-we're going to read about 13 novels and plays, starting with Shakespeare's Hamlet. I'm not too worried about all the reading though. I'm in a wonderful book club on Discord called Book Lovers Club (link here) and I have been for about a year or so now. (Maybe even longer?) Sharing what I'm reading with others, having the option to read the books of the month, and joining buddy reads keeps me motivated to read more. It allows me to express my thoughts and share them with like-minded people who are willing to engage in great conversations that expand my thought process. This month-September of 2020 (yes, my August update is late)-I'll be joining a buddy reading of Circe by Madeline Miller. I'm super excited for that and should have a review of Circe up on my blog either late this month or early October! Speaking of my blog, I'll be posting on a regular basis again starting with this post. I plan to post on Wednesdays during my lunch. I'm also writing for Consonancie magazie (find my journalist profile here), as I have been since October of 2019. Since I have numerous responsibilities, I'll only be blogging once a week and my magazine articles will be submitted to my editor on a regular, bi-weekly basis. In addition to my writing for my blog and my position as a writer/blogger for Consonancie, I'll be attempting to complete a 50,000+ word novel for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November. I'm probably absolutely insane for writing for multiple publications and attempting a novel, but I've taken a hiatus from my Instagram writing account (@hiraeth.vellichor) to free up some time. Last but definitely not least, I'm still receiving ARCs through Netgalley and Booksirens. That and library books through my state's digital keep me busier than can be! It's safe to say that I'm attempting a lot of reading and writing right now. The key word is attempting, but I'm hopeful that attempting will become succeeding. I hope everyone who reads this is having a good back to school season/is doing good at work. I hope y'all are staying safe and doing well. Mental health masterlist is here if you need it, and I'll always lend an ear on my Instagram! -Love from your local bookworm, Marissa Seuss Marissa SeussMarissa Seuss is a writer, musician, photographer, and avid book reader born and based in Northeast Ohio.
