What's up Wednesday

Hello!

What I'm Reading

If you saw yesterday's post I mentioned difficult reads. One of them being WINTERGIRLS. I never finished it but after that I got the strength to read books with self and outside harm.

Recently I finished reading DreamlandDreamland by Sarah Dessen

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The writing was really good. The sisters, parents and close friends she created were really great, too. I highlighted a lot of quotes. Yet the plot itself was disturbing.



View all my reviews

I'm almost done with THE PROPHET by Khalil Gibran.

What I'm Writing

I am participating in OctPoWriMo. I am starting to get an idea and plan for NaNoWriMo.

What Else I'm Up To

Other than that, check out the cool update.

Love and thank you,

Fida

Oh gosh I LOOOVE Dreamland. It is one of my favorite Sarah Dessen books. I'm sorry you didn't love it as much as I did but I hope you get to This Lullaby, Someone Like You, The Truth about Forever, because those are my faves of hers. =) Have a great week!

Congrats on your cool update! And also, did you change your blog look? I like it! Very simple and clean.

Good luck with planning for NaNo! I can't believe it's already that time of year!

Yours is the third recommendation for Sarah Dessen that I've heard in the last 24 hours. Clearly the book gods are trying to tell me something. Thanks for the rec! Congratulations on so many years of being a published poet, too!

#LoveAThon Mini Challenge 4

Hello Poetteers, This challenge is all about mash-ups. We have to put together our bookish life with a non-bookish passion. It's easy once you know your passion. I love reading and writing stories and poetry. I love music, food and travel. I want to travel everywhere. Backpack in Europe. Explore Asia. Help Arabia. Try all the different foods. Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song. Or anything Natasha Bedingfield. Or anything bought for my phone. I just like background noise when I read or write. Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
