Welcome to my blog! I hope you'll enjoy your stay. What do I write about? Well, my love of books, Marvel films, and my mental health usually, but who knows what I'll post? I'm a 21-year-old with a cat named Gracie and a dog named Ghost and I tend to ramble a lot, but I like to think it's what makes me, well, me. Feel free to look around/

This is a major must read for me this summer! Thank you to @harperkid for sending me a copy of #FindingOrion by #JohnDavidAnderson. I've been finding a lot of fun stories lately and this one looks right up my alley! SYNOPSIS Rion Kwirk comes from a rather odd family. His mother named him and his sisters after her favorite constellations, and his father makes funky-flavored jelly beans for a living. One sister acts as if she’s always onstage and the other is a walking dictionary. But no one in the family is more odd than Rion’s grandfather, Papa Kwirk. He’s the kind of guy who shows up on his motorcycle only on holidays, handing out crossbows and stuffed squirrels as presents. Rion has always been fascinated by Papa Kwirk, especially since his son—Rion’s father—is the complete opposite. Where Dad is predictable, nerdy, and reassuringly boring, Papa Kwirk is mysterious, dangerous, and cool. Which is why, when Rion and his family learn of Papa Kwirk’s death and pile into the car to attend his funeral and pay their respects, Rion can’t help but feel that that’s not the end of his story. That there’s so much more to Papa Kwirk to discover. He doesn’t know how right he is.

When someone asks me what my favourite quote from the MCU is, I recite this one from Miss Maximoff. When Wanda says this to Vision in Civil War...I got chills the first time I heard it. Civil War was the film that really made me fall in love with her character even more so from Age of Ultron. Wanda's arc has been one of my favourites and I am definitely looking forward to her new show and any future appearances in the MCU. Also her moment against Thanos in Endgame...WOAH. What is your favourite quote from Marvel?

Should she follow orders... or her heart? Risking it All by @smkozauthor is a fun romance full of witty characters, and set at a military boarding school! I read this last week and absolutely loved it! Its a fun read that really sucks you in. As a Navy brat myself, I related to Paige a lot and easy fell in love with Logan!

She’s inherited her father’s no-nonsense attitude and whip-smart intelligence, all of which have made her the perfect Wallingford cadet. Logan has spent the last five years doing as little as possible. Once a star basketball player and one of the most popular boys at school, he now spends his days playing video games. When a friend borrows his car and commits a crime, Logan takes the fall and ends up at Wallingford as part of his court order. When Paige is asked to mentor Logan, it’s the perfect opportunity to prove her leadership skills—but she doesn't account for the feelings that start to develop or the baggage from Logan's past which could threaten her future. #RiskingItAlltour #RiskingItAll #SmKoz #SwoonReads #FierceReads #storygramtours

"I hide away in my room to see just what stories will come to me." - P.B. McIlrath, Life and Strife: A Collection of Poetry

"Because the way the world treats teenage girls--as sluts, as objects, as bitches--is not okay. It's the exact opposite of okay." - Laura Steven, The Exact Opposite of Okay I just finished this book and I have a lot of emotions going through my head at the moment. This book is exactly what I, especially as a young woman in this society, needed to read. We've all heard of girl power films like Wonder Woman and women anthems such as Halsey's "Nightmare", but we need to give it up to the incredible authors that really hone in on the female experience and aren't afraid to call out the bullshit. Izzy's story was one of humor, heartbreak, and a rollercoaster of emotions that is unfortunately the norm for modern-day women. Steven took a subject (revenge porn and slut shaming) and expanded on it while being sex-positive, unapologetic, and damn hilarious. I encourage you all to read this book! I was pleasantly surprised to receive this book and I am so glad I read it these past 2 days. 5/5 stars for "The Exact Opposite of Okay"! Make sure you pick up a copy and enjoy! SYNOPSIS Izzy O’Neill is an aspiring comic, an impoverished orphan, and a Slut Extraordinaire. Or at least, that’s what the malicious website flying round the school says. Izzy can try all she wants to laugh it off – after all, her sex life, her terms – but when pictures emerge of her doing the dirty with a politician’s son, her life suddenly becomes the centre of a national scandal. Izzy’s never been ashamed of herself before, and she’s not going to start now. But keeping her head up will take everything she has...

Happy #FunkoFriday to my girl Ahsoka! She is such an underrated SW character and I can't wait for Clone Wars to come back! Hopefully we'll see her again in something. I still need fo read her novel! I'll get around to it! Do you like Ahsoka?

Do you keep a journal? I have since I was a child. I wish I would have kept all the ones from before.

Where in the world would you like to travel? I want to go to Scotland, Ireland, Iceland, and Australia.

A little upside down never hurt anybody. Pick up this Stranger Things vinyl yesterday along with Eleven and Dustin funko pops. My ST collection is growing and I am in love! Who is your favourite ST character? I love Dustin, Eleven, Steve, and Hopper the most
