Inspiring Myself Through YA Reading
It has always been my dream to publish a novel and become an author ... and maybe it's because I was 13 years old when I declared this dream that I decided I would be a young adult fantasy novelist. (Or maybe it's because I'll be 30 in January and I'm convinced I'm still not fully an adult.)

What I Read: July (2023)
It’s rare that I am not reading anything. I am usually so wrapped up in a book, that I have to force myself to put it down to do literally anything else. I have always been like this, even as a child, teachers often had to tell me to put a book away and pay attention to class. I still, however, sometimes fall into reading slumps, where I pick up a book, and no matter how well it is written or how interesting the plot is, I can’t seem to fully immerse myself in the story and am almost constantly distracted.

She had woven a life for herself, nurturing two precious kids and crafting delicate confections in her snug apartment. Marriage was a melody that hadn't found its way into her heart's rhythm, and she had found contentment in her bustling pastry business.

In the vibrant heart of London, where the city's heartbeat matches the rhythm of life, lived a young Black British woman named Aria. With a heart uninterested in love, she was a woman driven by ambition and dreams. Her days were an orchestrated symphony of determination and independence, a melody that resonated with the beat of city life.

The House of the Scorpion
I was stumped trying to figure out what to read next. Nothing seemed to jump out at me from the pile of unopened books on my shelf at home, so I turned to the only place I could think of for suggestions–my classroom. My students have quite the eclectic taste when it comes to books, so I knew that I would get suggestions that I wouldn’t have stumbled across myself. One suggestion, from one of my more voracious readers, led me to pick up Nancy Farmer’s, “The House of the Scorpion.”
