I first learned of Taylor Lorenz when she was a guest on the Bad on Paper podcast. She is a technology writer for the New York Times and writes on a variety of topics that center around social media. I was initially intrigued by the podcast because of an article she wrote about Tik Tok’sContinue reading “Quarantine Productivity Thoughts: Article Analysis”

A Realization.
In order to create some sort of routine during quarantine, I decided to read a devotional every morning right when I wake up. For the past few weeks, reading a page from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young and Live in Grace, Walk in Love by Bob Goff has set a positive tone for my day.Continue reading “A Realization.”
Quick Reads: Food Edition
I previously confessed that my favorite show is The Bachelor. Well today I am making another confession. I grew up an extremely picky eater. I ate pasta and sauce, mac and cheese, and chicken nuggets on rotation and not much else. I refused fruits and vegetables and I could never eat dinner at a friend’sContinue reading “Quick Reads: Food Edition”
Emily’s Bookshelf: Quarantine Essentials
This week is my 6th week of not leaving my apartment. Quarantine feels slow, but the days go by quickly. Does this make sense? I have shifted from attending my college courses in person to online (like many of my readers) and my husband is now working from home. So, our day to day lifeContinue reading “Emily’s Bookshelf: Quarantine Essentials”
Interview with Author and Professor: Jennifer Dowling
This week on the blog, I (virtually) interviewed author and professor Jennifer Dowling. I met Professor Dowling this semester as I am taking her Design for Integrated Media class.

As she introduced herself to the classContinue reading “Interview with Author and Professor: Jennifer Dowling”

The Best Way to Consume a Book.
We are so fortunate that in this time in history, there are several ways to consume a book. I love walking around a bookstore and looking at all of the thoughtfully designed book covers and reading the summary on the back cover. While this is an enjoyable activity to do on the weekends or onContinue reading “The Best Way to Consume a Book.”
Quarantine Reads
There is a vlogger that I am subscribed to on YouTube named Zoe Sugg who will often go on for weeks without uploading any videos. When a new video finally does appear, she will often explain that “vlogging fear” prevented her from recording and uploading new content. I never understood this and often thought “HowContinue reading “Quarantine Reads”
The Bachelor Books
I have a confession to make. My favorite TV show is The Bachelor. I know, I know. I would call it a guilty pleasure, but I am not guilty about it at all. I began watching the show with my mom when I was 14 years old and have been tuning in every MondayContinue reading “The Bachelor Books”
How To: Make Time in Your Day to Read
As you may be able to tell from my previous posts, I love quotes. I find them in books, by listening to podcasts, and scrolling through Pinterest. One quote I found through one of these avenues that I love is, “Instead of saying ‘I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,’ and seeContinue reading “How To: Make Time in Your Day to Read”
