I cried while watching Star Wars The Force Awakens today, and not because of the unbelievably EPIC movie. Ayanna, my seven-year old, is a HUGE Star Wars fan. She’s seen all the movies, was Darth Vader for Halloween, runs around the house making Chewy noises and thinks BB-8 is literally “the cutest and coolest”droid ever. […]
(You KNEW that was coming!) Last Wednesday RSR turned four. FOUR! Can you believe it?! In these four years I’ve met some of my best friend (whom I have no idea how I deserve them!), traveled for author signings (Y’all Fest 2014!) faced giant, intimidating conventions (BEA 15) and driven out of the country (for […]
Hello my lovelies!! If you haven’t been living under a rock you’re probably aware of how in and HUGE adult coloring is right now. If you’re anything like me coloring was your 2nd favorite past time activity as a kid, and I am beyond thrilled that it’s becoming something that isn’t frowned upon or looked […]
You know that feeling you get when you finish a book that just makes you want to tell everyone how great (or horrible) it was and why they should read it immediately? I call this feeling “reviewers high”. I imagine it is something akin to runners high, though I have no true intentions on finding […]
Happy November lovelies! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted anything but that’s not to say RSR has been quiet! In fact, I wanted to take a sec to send a HUGE thank you and congratulations to Shelly and every single person who helped promote or contributed a guest post during Shelly’s Diversity Month. […]
In case you couldn’t tell by the title of this post, today is Shelly’s birthday! I thought it would be fitting to take this time out to wish Shelly a very very VERY happy birthday. So, Shelly. My beautiful, kind, sweet, hilarious, brilliant, and unbelievably amazing best friend. I have never been so grateful for a […]
I recently received a letter from my super awesome and lovely secret sister. It was sweet and nice and funny and probably had the most beautifully drawn pictures ever! And I wanted to send her a letter back, but of course she’s a secret! So, I thought the best thing to do was write an […]
Quick confession. I read Play It Again without reading book one. In my defense I DIDN’T KNOW! I was reading a sample (for some mysterious reason), didn’t check goodreads, and iBooks didn’t tell me it was part of a series so I just jumped in! Now, in al honesty I followed the story just fine with […]
My number one bookish love is YA. It can be science fiction YA, or paranormal YA, or fantasy YA, and in very VERY rare cases even contemporary YA. Honestly, as long as it’s Young Adult, it will always own my heart. I mean how could it not?! My entire life I’ve been a book-worm; […]
You may have noticed that over the past few months I have been obsessed with all things Erin Condren. Her planners, her stickers, her EVERYTHING. If you’re new to Erin Condren obsession I did a “I Ordered an Erin Condren Planner” post about her unbelievably AH-MAZING Life Planner and all the “extras” back in March […]
