Quite honestly, I got the idea partly from my interest in true crime and abnormal psychology, specifically psychopathology. That's all I can say for now!(less)

It's how you find out what you like in a book, or what you don't like. You'll get exposed to a lot of different writing styles, techniques, literary devices, and narratives, and you'll develop a taste for what you (as a reader) like. Then, use what you like as a reader and apply it your writing. I think reading is one of the most important things that a writer can do!(less)

My 2021 Reading Goals...

Well, its been a while since I've posted... oops. With 2020 behind us, I think we're all hoping for a better year in 2021. For me, part of that is a better year for reading. In December 2020, I put together a list of my goals, and I've been adhering to them pretty well so far!

- Read 40 books in 2021
- Go on a book-buying-ban as long as possible
- Prioritize the books that have been sitting on my she

Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace is a dense - albeit worthwhile - masterclass in historical fiction layered with psychological nuance, ambiguity, and sharp feminist critique.

What struck me most was how intricately Atwood weaves the theme of patriarchal

Kelley's prose is stunning, particularly th

Jordan Murray, The Clearing

“Ghosts aren’t real, but the ones that live within us are. They haunt us in everything we do.”
Jordan Murray, The Clearing

“Writing, then, was a substitute for myself: if you don't love me, love my writing & love me for my writing. It is also much more: a way of ordering and reordering the chaos of experience.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest

“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence.”
Edgar Allan Poe

“It's an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it; I can dominate it. And it's predictable. So, if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.”
Walter Tevis, The Queen's Gambit
