I noticed that yall really enjoyed the last post that I made where I just kinda talked to you guys about things that were happening and how I was feeling and I really enjoyed writing it.
So of course I thought, why not do it again?
So here I am.. I started Intro To Literature on the 28th of June and I can’t how much time has flown by since then.
This class I’m taking now calls for a bit of academic writing which, I’ll be honest, is not my favorite type of writing. But surprisingly, I’m having fun with it!
The reading material is interesting, the assignments aren’t long (though they are thought provoking) and so far, I don’t feel stifled or suffocated as far as my creativity goes.
It is still a little intimidating, though. And I did get a little discouraged at a small critique on my last assignment but I quickly pulled myself out of that mindset and reminded myself that it’s never too late to learn and to grow as a writer and as a person. And it’s okay that there are some things that I need to work on. There’s always room for improvement.
But so far I’ve been getting really good grades on all my assignments and I hope it continues. I’m having a lot of fun with this class and I can’t wait to see what next for me!
What have you guys been up to? Let me know in the comments!
I just wanted to come on here to talk about the books I’ve read so far this in June and July. It’s been a minute since I’ve been hungry for reading so, feeling the need to write these mini reviews makes me very happy!
Some of these I DNF’d but I felt like talking about them regardless..
(click on the titles for the synopsis of each of these books)
My Thoughts: First of all.. woah. This one was.. woah.
It started off super intense right off the bat and the author touched on very serious issues throughout the book (blackmail, assault, men in power, etc). Very prevalent issues occurring even still to this day. Rush is a soft dom even though he can get brutal if need be (meaning: if she asks him to. And damn does she ask him to…whewww.) and Bree is lovely. She’s headstrong but also vulnerable and together they make a beautiful couple who put everyone else’s needs before their own. Loved it.
My thoughts: I had high hopes for this one but unfortunately, it really disappointed me. The home invasion concept was great but the execution was lacking. It felt like the author started off with one idea then it just went completely sideways.
The main protagonists were characters I rooted for but, the decisions made by the author for clear shock value just left a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t think I’ll pick up anything else by Tremblay.
Thoughts: Loved the short poems. Other than that, I found it kind of condescending and all over the place. From what I know, this book started off as just those short poems but it was decided to be released as a full length novel and that disconnect definitely shows in the writing toward the middle. I ended up just reading the poems and skipping the rest.
My thoughts: Soft doms, a unique gym, sexy spanking scenes and body positivity done the right way. Wonderful. Beautiful. Another hit by Brianna Hale. Hale is slowly becoming one of my fave authors! This book is a part of the Dom Fitness series but I don’t think you have to read the other one in order to enjoy this one. Definitely recommend!
