My siblings noticed I was a nerd as a child when we would watch movies. If there was anything that sounded cool and historical–tattoo, book, weapon, anything–I would look it up. I want to show you five of my favorite ancient texts from movies and shows that I wish were in my library.
The fascination, confusion, curiosity, sadness, anger, disappointment, pride, devastation, happiness–all of it. Algernon yanked me by the hand and took me on every ride the emotional fair had to offer. That tells me, though, he’s an excellent catch.

If you want to be a good writer, you have to keep reading. So, I aimed for a book a month before last year and that really worked for me. This year I want to aim for two a month. What am I reading that abundantly? My To Be Read (TBR) list includes the following…

Dare I say the English major is the most amazing? Naw, that’s not fair. But, these book recommendations are still amazing for the English major-type reader.
Inspiration seeker? I would imagine you’re trying to “be the good you want to see in the world”? Maybe these book recommendations will help in the endeavor.
I would imagine as a social reader that you obsess about and share your obsession with others. Fandoms? Of course! Part of a group that loves the same book you do? Hell yeah! You...
If you were labeled as an escapist reader, you’re probably the one who hits up 50% off Saturdays at Goodwill so you can leave their bookshelves lookin’ like they got robbed! Or, maybe that’s...
I get it–it’s easier. But, that doesn’t mean it should be done. It kills me when my high school freshmen mix up motifs and themes. Thinking they’re interchangeable, it makes it almost impossible to...
