Apologies and NaNoWriMo

Hi everyone,

First off, I need to apologies again for not having any posts up this past month. October was a pretty busy month for me between work and personal things and it got to be too much for me to try to read and write good reviews for you. I've never been diagnosed with depression but I have no other way to describe how I felt last month, even though I know I get a little down whenever winter starts to arrive. So I decided to take a little break for myself and focus on getting other things done before coming back to this blog. I hope you all weren't too disappointed and will understand.

Now that it's November, that means NaNoWriMo has begun!

For those of you who don't know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. It's a month long challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days and it has grown from just a few people in California to an annual international event. I've participated several times, "winning" twice, and have decided to give it another go this year.

Last year I got the word count but I never really focused on a single story, instead using posts from an online RPG and a fantasy I've been trying to write, in order to get the word count. This year, I want to try to focus on the actual novel idea (though I may include blog posts and notes in the count if I get desperate).

I do plan on getting up reviews again this month, so please be on the lookout for those. Otherwise, I hope you will consider joining me for NaNoWriMo and all it's mayhem.

Dream Library

Photo by Ivo Rainha from Pexels Hello travelers! If you're a book nerd, you may have spent hours thinking about your dream library. Whether it was the library from Beauty and the Beast or just a few floating shelves in your bedroom, everyone has an idea of what their dream library would look like if money and space were not a deciding factor. My dream space is a room with built in shelves, large windows with a window seat and lots of pillows, and plants and a few nature or nerdy pictures on the walls. However, I have had the experience of moving a few times and each time my available space changes. At college, it was three shelves above my desk, in my first apartment, I shared a couple of bookshelves with my husband's music collection, and now I have five large book cases to call my own. This fluctuating library size has not cut into the number of books that I own (I don't have a problem. What are you talking about? Don't look in the closet!) but it...

Black Sci-fi and Fantasy Authors

Photo by Oladimeji Ajegbile from Pexels Hello travelers, As I am sure many of you are aware, there is a huge push for racial justice in America, with 50 states and 18 countries participating in the protests. While I am unable to participate in any of the marches in my area, I have done what I can with signing petitions. Recently, I saw a hashtag going around social media called #BlackoutBestsellerList with the goal of making all of the New York Times Bestsellers be from Black authors. This could be accomplished if everyone bought two books by black authors before June 20th. I'll admit, I was a little late to the game, but that doesn't mean I can't participate and maybe we can continue this push in the coming weeks. While there is no way to list every book out there by black authors, I thought I would make a list with some that are not just the typical academic African-American literature. That's not to say there's anything wrong with those books; in fac...

Read Through the Decade: 1900s

Welcome Travelers! Welcome to the Map Shop and the first installment of my Read Through the Decade Challenge. As listed on the calendar that I'm basing all of this on, January is dedicated to the early 1900s, specifically 1900 to 1909. While any books published during this time would work for the challenge, I decided to follow the ones already listed as a starting point. I might tweak this later on as the challenge progresses but for now, I'm just testing out the format. The books listed for January include: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington The Hound of Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Call of the Wild by Jack London The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois The Jungle by Upton Sinclair The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum In the end, I only read The Hound of Baskervilles, Call of the Wild, The Souls of Black Folk, and The Wizard of Oz in January. I did read Heart of Dar...
