I Finally Found Something To Like About Chemistry
When I read Bonnie Garmus’s New York Times’ best-selling debut novel Lessons In Chemistry, it reminded me of the old Monty Python phrase, And now for something completely different. The story begins in the 1950s and it reads a bit like an old-timey television show. The plot eventually evolves into a chemistry-themed television cooking show, but getting there takes some time. Elizabeth Zott is a…

Which author (famous or not) is your greatest writing influence?....hmm...
“Which author (famous or not) is your greatest writing influence?” That’s the question I stumbled across when I was scrolling through Facebook recently. (Yes, I know I should have been writing and not wasting time scrolling!) I paused to think… I went and stood in front of my bookshelves and gazed at the familiar titles, remembering scenes and characters from many of them fondly. After a few…

do u have any good anderperry fic recs?
oh boy do I ever!!! these are my top 7 anderperry fics!! (and of course, you can always check out my ao3 linked in my bio hmmhmm).
letters to my dearest beloved by UniversalSatan is my favorite favorite anderperry fic. like, holy shit. I am absolutely speechless after reading this I stg. that's all I have to say about that.
but only in their dreams can men be truly free. by phoenixxrv is the fic that I've reread the most just because of the sheer amounts of joy that it brings me! even though it has hints of sadness, especially from the readers pov as we know what happens to neil originally, the author perfectly crafts a gorgeous and wonderful scenario where that didn't happen, and even more so, why it didn't.
two sturdy oaks by crownofplanets is a fic that I full remember enjoying with every word that I read. it's really nice for the people who like the realization of the love that two characters share. idk it's very cute!
make a move neil! by mikeythemage. im cheating a little with this because it's a whole series with individual fics in it, but every fic in it really is super duper cute and I just love them all so so much!!
interlude in a new york diner by johnirvings is truly a short and sweet moments that does function as an "interlude". I really enjoyed it just because of the short blip in todd and neil's story together that we get to see.
Whisper Me Words In The Shape of a Bay by Meduseld is just. oh my gosh so fucking amazing. really short, but I couldn't imagine it being longer. this author just gets so much across in so little words, and as a writer and a reader, I am flabbergasted.
come live with me and be my love by trouvailleamor this is a very sweet slice of life fic taking place years after neil and todd ran away together and are happy and thriving. incredibly sweet, and a bunch of keating!
anyway, I know that giving you an odd number of fics is a little weird, and im sure I could totally add onto this list, but these are some of my favorites/the ones I reread the most so!!! I hope you enjoy and NEVER be shy to talk fanfic with me!!!

Starting this ledger next. Seriously missing the sun. So far it’s nothing but overcast. But this novel seems appropriate for it. #book #booklover #bookblogger #bookstagram #readingcommunity #mybookfeatures #writingcommunity #fiction #johnirving #reader https://www.instagram.com/p/CJxAO22gmMA/?igshid=1mkrhz61ql7xh

TRUE STORY ON IMPECCABLE AUTHORITY: A famous writer told an exec at my current publisher to read the novel Moby Dick. She did. Then when the famous writer saw the exec next, he gave her a copy of our Cozy Classics: Moby Dick as an ironic gift. The famous writer? John Irving. 💥😲🐳 . . BTW, this is how I created the cover for Moby Dick. I needed sky, but needed to angle over the fence. 🐳 🚣♀️ . . #mobydick #hermanmelville #johnirving #cozyclassics #boardbooks #needlefelting #kidlit #kidlitart #behindthescenes #captainahab #ahab #chroniclebooks #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram (at East Vancouver) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByasyjJBqiw/?igshid=yzcj9mf5lobo

"If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it." John Irving And it takes time and sacrifice. Self care is part of that. As I begin to have an easier time with juggling two jobs, I've taught myself to MAXIMIZE my time in the gym in order to continue to accomplish those goals, all while setting up my own future. Don't be afraid to become uncomfortable. Yes, it'll be stressful at first. But keep it going, no matter.how.stressed you become and you'll adjust accordingly - and without even realizing it. Let these changes become #secondnature and the rest will follow. I know my own goals for 2022. I want to know YOURS. What do you plan to do to live the life you want? Goals only, no resolutions, those are too easy to break. Tell me in the comments!
