My 2018 Plum Paper Planner – A Year in Review
In case you missed it, in November of last year I introduced My 2018 Plum Paper Planner and discussed its features, its appearance, and my [non-sponsored] love for Plum Paper. This summer (why did I do it so far in advance?) I put up a Twitter poll asking if a review of that planner – one year later – would be of interest to anyone. A few people voted (thank you!) in favor of such a review, so here we are. I’ve set this post up in the same fashion as the one I’ve linked above to make sure I relay all my thoughts as clearly as possible. Oh, and…

Would You Rather Book Tag | 2.0
Looking back through some of my old posts, I realized it’s been just over a year since I did my first Book Tag (September 2017). There have been some changes on my blog since then, in terms of new and better content, and thankfully some things about myself have changed, too. So I thought I would review my first Book Tag – the Would You Rather Book Tag – and see if I still align with my 2017 self (on the featured topics).

2018 Wrap-Up | October
My mild reading and mood slumps continued through October, but like in September, my time spent not reading was enjoyably spent. I’m actually pretty ready to take a break from spooky reads in November, because with darker days and colder weather ahead, I need a better balance between unsettling and uplifting. Basically, I’m taking a break from Shirley Jackson.

I’m quite enthusiastic about it, so I’m hoping that writing over 1,000 words every day will also help get me out of the slumps I’ve…

NaNoWriMo 2018
There’s Something About Writing 50,000 Words in 30 Days For the first time since I started [halfheartedly] participating in National Novel Writing Month (four or five years or so), I have a solid story idea that I am very excited about. I have been working on a prologue, outline, characters, and world building here and there for a couple of months, and have had NaNoWriMo in the back of my mind as the perfect point to really dive in.

Juniper Books Fall/Winter Wish List | 2018
I admire everything about Juniper Books. Their gift sets, their social media presence, their story, and their catalog. The latter of those things just arrived in my mailbox, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite books and sets from the catalog in a wish list (and since this is blog-land I feel that I should indicate that this post is in no way $ponsored by Juniper Books).

Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales: The Glass Coffin
“Let no one ever say that a poor tailor cannot do great things and win high honors; all that is needed is that he should go to the right smithy, and what is of most consequence, that he should have good luck.”
