Happy Tuesday, squiders! I can’t believe it’s already June. Holy crapola. (Also, I did my book tracker for the month this morning, and I need to read nine books this month to be on track, so that’s a problem.) (I
Writing Retreat Ahoy
(Nautical joke, to go with World’s Edge’s setting.) Well, squiders, I’m off to my writing retreat tomorrow. I am mostly excited–I got a ton done last year, and it was relaxing, and I did yoga and walked the labyrinth and

Welp
Well, squiders, I’m still not done with Uglies. I thought this would be fairly easy since it’s YA and not terribly long, but sometimes with YA I just don’t connect to the main character very well and then it slows
