Festive Greetings, Pug Lovers and Kindness Creators! Photo by Nicole Michalou on Pexels.com The holiday season is a magical time, brimming with traditions and family memories. In our home, we’ve embraced a unique tradition that not only aligns with our budget but also nurtures a lifelong love for reading in our children.

Since we moved, my library's been in storage. Fortunately I make do with what's available, (besides my nightstand, end table, cabinets, drawers, the floor and mostly every surface with a little space 😉), and my Kindles. #nationalreadabookday #readingisagift #neveralone #usingyourimagination #booksaremagic #readingismysuperpower #gratefulmymamyluckytaughtme #shewasmyrolemodel #booksarethebestgift 📚📖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CEzZk3hlxufQYspQ3Y_ia4n5v2JpX51LN29wE00/?igshid=62zje9cbk9z8

These are some recent gems we obtained from a mobile book truck that comes to our neighborhood every Tuesday. Literacy is such a great cause to promote and I'm grateful for the introduction to reading that the book truck offers. It is always so exciting to watch people try to decide which one to bring home. It's almost like choosing a puppy. With everything going on in the world, this initiative by @houseofspeakeasy is sparking so much joy and opening up the door to life long reading. Little things like this remind me that I should never take for granted that being able to buy books is a privilege. QOTD: What free literacy/reading opportunities exist in your part of town? 📙Heavy: In this powerful and provocative memoir, genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies, and deception does to a black body, a black family, and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse. 📕The Outsiders: 50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging. 📗The Kiss Quotient: A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick. #houseofspeakeasy #booktruckfinds #readingisagift #readingislife #books #bookstagram #bookworm #bookish #bookdragon #fallvibes #falldecor #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #promoteliteracy #pumpkins #shells #heavy #kieselaymon #theoutsiders #thekissquotient #helenhoang #read #memoir #yafiction #romanticomedy (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_JfbTA0cP/?igshid=19rcsgaovhlfk

“In a crumbling London bookshop, Posy Morland spends her life lost in pages of her favourite novels” . After seeing this sentence on the cover, I just couldn’t leave this book at the @bigbadwolfbooks sale last year. The pages are full of little anecdotes of the kind my grandma and mom used to say. When lost in a good book like this, sometimes I feel that they’re still with me. And that means everything! . . . #bookstagrammer #anniedarling #littlebookshop #literature #readingisagift

WIP ask game -- post the last sentence you wrote and then tag as many people are in that sentence!

Whew boy! Let's see:

“Wēn Ruòhán said his niece Wēn Qíng has been developing medical methods for same sex couples to conceive with each other instead of a donor,” said Wǎnyín, “I’d like to pursue that avenue if and when it becomes available as a first choice. Alternatives such as adoption can also be considered —” “Absolutely not,” said Yú Zǐyuān, “It will be a child of your own blood Ā-Chéng, nothing less.” Wǎnyín looked like he wanted to argue but thought better of it. “That’s a bit of a ways away,” said Jiāng Yànlí, “Ā-Chéng is only just in school, and then he needs to focus on his career. I’m sure everything will work out in the future.” “It’s not like either of them are on a time-limit,” said Wèi Yīng, “They can have heirs whenever they want.” “Exactly,” said Jiāng Yànlí. Lán Wàngjī was staring at Wǎnyín. He had spoken so confidently, so calmly, about the prospect of them having children, as if the only obstacle were biology, and not … anything else.

Uuuuh I have to tag people now. @shadowsingeraxolotl @t0asty-marshmall0w @the-pudding-is-a-lie @cerusee @coolalicious @irisflammea @readingisagift @sulkyskywalker Don't feel obligated.

Writing Tag Game

Tagged by: @single-logbridge

I'm not really sure how this works but I'm gonna give it my best!🤗

I am valastsacrifice on AO3..

Fandoms:

Active/Recent: The Untamed

Where I Post:

AO3 and fanfiction.net

Most Popular Oneshot:

I haven't written a one shot yet because even my short ideas end up turning into multichap fics...😂

Although, I do have a one shot in progress, I just hope motivation hits me soon to complete it ..

Most Popular Multichap:

Truly Madly Deeply

Well, this was my first Mpreg fic and honestly, I did not expect it to receive as much love and kudos and comments as it really did... 😁

Favorite Story You’ve Written So Far:

Our Fairytale Love

Well, this was my shortest fic and I believe that it is comparatively better and less cheesy than my rest... It’s still a bit cheesy though.. So be warned..😉

Fic You Were Nervous To Post:

Truly Madly Deeply

As I mentioned earlier, it was my first Mpreg fic... I’ve always been a little skeptic about Mpreg considering that I’m a science student and it has always been difficult to separate fiction from logic and science... But I desperately wanted my babies to have babies and I had this one plot just stuck in my mind and considering the fact that I was stuck being quarantined at home, I thought, “Why not?” and well, here we are... 

How You Choose Your Titles:

Ugh. It’s a never ending loop between too cheesy and not cheesy enough.. I just go with whatever I think is enough.. I don’t really waste my time and brain cells on it...

Do You Outline:

I kinda do.. Maybe not the whole thing. But a basic backbone has to be there for me to figure out the rest..

Complete:

4 works and all completed! I pride myself for completing all my fics and never abandoning them!

Coming Soon/Not Yet Started:

One fic is currently being drafted  (hopefully, I’ll complete it soon, no promises) while the other is in progress in my mind😂

Prompts?:

ISTG, I’m new to fandoms in general, so I still don’t understand what a prompt is..

Upcoming Work You’re Excited About:

I barely have the time and patience to finish writing my fics. So excitement is out of question...

Tagging: (no pressure!)

Thank you #raisingreaders for this post. Encourage your older kids to read to the younger ones. In fact, as Raising Readers says, get all your family to read to the little ones.
