Recent Rambles: Writers Block

So I have an explanation, I guess after the massive change on my blog, I thought that I would be full of ideas and would want to write but it has been something I have become scared of. Writing I mean...

I mean as I go to write this post I want to think of literally any explanation to make me stop writing. Do I need a snack? Do I need a drink? Can I do anything apart from this blog post? Let's face it I have done that, it has been over a month since my last blog post and I could have done it but I have been stuck. I did not want to write anything, it is like my brain can not get the words out it the way that I want them to, I become scared that anything I was writing was not good enough. Even something as simple as my manifesto for Harry Potter society became a chore and I ended up procrastinating for a long time and I know that it was not anything like I wanted it to be. Writing for fun became a chore because of the academics that I have been writing for literally the last month.

It was not only the fact I feel like writing for fun was hard, ideas were hard too. I mean this idea in itself is not that good, I mean it is a life update post but I could do so much more with this but I have limited ideas. I mean I could do tags and stuff but I want to do more discussions but I feel like I have nothing to discuss. I don't know.

People say that the only thing that cures things like this is time but I want to start posting again, I have come to far to stop now! Just forgive me if my posts are a bit dodgy over the next couple of weeks because I might not have that many ideas.

I hope you stick with me and if you survived this ramble because I do not think even I did.

Also, if you have any ideas for topics that you would like me to discuss, leave them in the comments below.

See you soon,

Amy

I survived writing the post!

My Reading Tastes Are Changing

For the last couple of years, I feel like this has become a reoccurring blog post but I want to talk about it now because I think something is actually happening in my reading life. My reading tastes are changing. I've felt it for a while. I haven't really been drawn to YA titles that much anymore especially contemporary. Being busy in my time, I have been really selective in the books that I pick up so for me: the shorter, the better. And when picking up shorter books, the less likely they are to be YA. The more I am exposed to more books, the more I get to read books that I connect to Some of the books that I have picked up have really surprised me because of how much I ended up enjoying them. I think as I grow older, I am looking for different stories, different experiences and different perspectives. These don't just fit the YA mould. I also have been really into different genres like horror and the occasional thriller which have not read from before and I'm interes

Favourite Graphic Novels & Manga of 2021

As I have read a lot of books this year, I always want to give graphic novels and manga their own celebration as they often get overlooked and do make up a lot of my reading. I also find that even though I read a lot of them, it takes a lot to convince me and make it a new favourite. So here are my best... Heartstopper Volume 4 by Alice Oseman Like everyone on the internet, I too am a massive Heartstopper fan and Volume 4 is no different. I love the relationship of Nick and Charlie and the side characters also make the series. This one also explores the way that mental health can impact romance and it still does justice to the story and does not fall into cliches. I am eagerly anticipating the final volume but I don't want it to be over. The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood One of the last graphic novels I read this year and the one that has the second amount of hype, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott also leaves a lasting impression. I love a good Briti

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

Something happens, they say, and you know … That’s what happened when I met Kit Godden. I looked into his eyes and I knew. Only everyone else knew too. Everyone else felt exactly the same way. This is the story of one family, one dreamy summer – the summer when everything changes.
