Guest post, promotion, and splurges. Not a bad way to end twenty-three.

A great big, giant, thank you to Michelle Athy at 'The Sunflower's Scribbles' for giving me the opportunity to guest post on her blog! If you haven't read it yet, you can find out how I got into writing here.

In other good news that happened yesterday, I got a promotion and raise at work! There's nothing like doing a good job and being rewarded for it. And yes, this finally means I can take this 'entry level' label off me. As a reward to myself, I went on a trip to the bookstore in search of a good read and found these two, that were highly recommended to me.


As of late I've been rereading books on my kindle (hence no new book reviews!), so I'll try and start up again with these two. And what are books without a beverage to go with it? As another splurge I got ceremonial grade matcha and set from PANATEA. How do you like your tea? Straight up or latte form? I'll take both!


And as a way to top off the day, Michael and I had drinks to cheers my awesome day. This is definitely not a bad way to end my last few days being 23.

    I picked up yet another non-fiction book yesterday, but I'm super excited about it. Plus it was 50% off!

    Happy early birthday!

  3. Ah, 24. Those were the days :-) Granted, people still think I'm 23. I just bought a Kindle book for 99 cents--one novel written by three different authors.

  4. Congratulations on the promotion and raise at work! Yippee!! And I hope you enjoy your wonderful new books! I loved SPEAK. I have SERAPHINA on my Kindle and still need to read it, but I've heard such good things about it.

    Happy reading!

    1. Thanks Caryn! I am definitely so excited! And I just finished SPEAK yesterday. Words cannot describe how much I loved it. That final scene was so beautifully written. I cried. I wish someone had recommended it to me when I was 14!
