i think it's time for me to go. 


i'm not the same person i was at seventeen when i created this space and i feel that it is dishonest to myself to try and keep it alive. I love this community with all of my heart and i hope that you will not be too disappointed in me for this choice. 



this is not goodbye permanently, i am starting a new adventure somewhere else. i think it's high time i introduce you all to Happy Place  This is the start of a journey that i hope you can join me on! 



Goodbye The Singing Writer. Thank you for everything you've done for me. 

Signing off for the last time. 

Lia<3



 



i truly didn't mean to go away. i ran out of time to do the things i love and i just had to put my head down and focus on work. So here i am four months later returning to you a changed person. 


ive been trying to find myself. its not going as well as i would like it to but i'd say i'm getting better. i often leave my house and go to the local park and just sit. And be. sometimes it works and i go home refreshed and ready to take on the next day. Other times i cry and beg for a sign that i'm where i'm meant to be and not just wasting my life away. 


but yes, i am back here and i hope to stay for a while. that is all for now and i will see you all next week.

yea.... 


my blogoversary is the 15th of March. I'm currently writing this on the 16th of March, you will be seeing this the 17th of March. So in the near future when you see this, my blogoversary was 2 days ago. i totally meant to have my post out the morning of the 16th. However work kicked my butt and i was in bed by 7:30.. 


So now here we are, after that long rambling tangent. I have officially been blogging for 5 years. Wow. To be honest, i didn't really think that i still would be blogging after 5 years but i'm glad that i am. The friends that i've made, the memories that we've made are all too precious to let go of. 


But i would like to share with you all my 10 favorite posts i've posted :) And i hope you give them a read and walk down memory lane with me! 


1. The Time I Met Damian McGinty

Listen i have loved this man since i was seven and he was fourteen so this was really big deal to me and it honestly still remains one of the best nights of my life. 


2. 17 Things About Me

One of my favorite things about blogging is collabing with friends and this post is definitely one of the best :) 


3. A Poem by Me 

This was the very first poem i ever wrote. And yes, it did make it into my book :) 


4. Ask Me Anything Answers////Part 2 

*sigh* i still remember the headache writing this post gave me lol. But it did go on to inspire MK to make a tag for it and it was fun to see everyone answer them :) 


5. Talahassee 

this was the very first song i ever wrote. And i honestly don't think i can ever write anything to top it. <3


6. some journal excerpts and lyrics 

i was really going through it in 2020 oof... but these are still some of the best words i've written. 


7. Aesthetics: Chaotic Academia 

This was my favorite post i did from my aesthetics series. Should i bring that back?? Would yall be interested? 


8. For the Broken Heart, For the Broken Girl 

The day that i published my book was the best day ever and honestly all the posts from that week leading up to the big day were amazing 


9. Defacing my Books!

I loved doing this project and these two books still sit on my shelf :) 


10. *featuring this super long title that i'm too lazy to type out* 

When i tell you that i have never laughed so hard in my life when MK sent this to me. It was the best. 


I hope you all enjoyed reading those :) These are all in no particular order, i love them all equally lol.

i recently binge read three of K.M Shea's series and i love them so much. They are the Hall of Blood and Mercy, the Court of Midnight and Deception and the Pack of Dawn and Destiny. 


M.K has been telling me to read these books since last spring, when she first read them. I just kept putting it off cause i had other things to read, idk why cause my TBR shelf is still very big. But finally a couple weeks ago, i finally decided enough is enough, i'm going to read them. 


However, i did actually start reading the the first series when M.K told me to last year, i for some reason just couldn't get into it. The writing style just felt off and i wasn't feeling it so i DNF'd it. Fast forward to now and i picked up the second series. 

And i can hear you all now: "Lia, why are you reading the second series before the first, that's dumb" Yea i know, i thrive on making dumb decisions. But M.K told me that the second series is better than the first and i really didn't have to read the first one before the second so i started the second series. 


guys.. GUYS 

Those books were the most amazing things ever. I flew through all three books. i laughed i cried. I texted M.K obsessively over them. i swooned over the love interest. what can i say, he was mysterious and broody, sue me. 

And then i decided to go back and read the first series. And WOW, it was like reading a completely different book than before. i'm not even kidding when i say that i finished the series in one day. There was also swooning over this love interest as well, his sarcasm was almost as good as my own. 

So I went to start the third series but my brain was like "if you read any more words, imma explode." So i waited a day and then started it! 

Now i suppose i should have explained this earlier, but all of these books are urban fantasy. Mythical creatures in the modern world. Vampires, wizards, fae, and werewolves specifically. And the third series focuses on the werewolves. And after reading House of Sky and Breath a week earlier, i discovered that i'm kinda obsessed with werewolves, which is not surprising considering how much i love wolves.  But only if they're written correctly. (looking at you Jacob from Twilight) 

Literally my only complaint about this series was that i couldn't jump into the book so that i could cuddle all the of wolves 😭 And the fact that i will probably never find anyone like the love interest. He made me actually blush. i swoon. 


i gave all of these books five stars and i cannot recommend them enough. They are all clean and very well written. I hope my rambling convinced you to read them and i hope they give you joy. 


Please let me know if you've read them or you plan to! I'd love to chat about them!

as i patiently wait for feedback on the first draft i just sent out, let me give you all some book recs!! 



1. The Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy 

I don't really like sports, ive never had any interest in them or cared. However after reading these books, ive become a really big hockey fan. But that's not all that they're about. This series is about heart and fighting for what you believe in and showing those you love that they matter to you, even in moments of crisis. This is classified as a new adult series so take that into account before you start it and please look into any trigger warnings as well. 





2. The Storm Crow duology by Kalyn Josephson 

This is one of the best fantasy duologies i've read in a long time. Magical crows, fantastical lands, and a heroine who was incredibly cool. I enjoyed every minute and i really wish that the series was longer lol 





3. The Raven Cycle by Maggie Steifvator 

Listen i could talk about the Raven Cycle all day. i laughed, i cried, i almost threw one of books against the wall. I went through all the emotions. It was the very first book series i tabbed. I love it so much. There is a lot of language however, because one of the characters is very foul-mouthed lol. So be cautious. But i hope you love it if you decide to read it. 




4. The Legend series by Marie Lu

I have never experienced so much emotional damage than i have with this series. It was rough. But the main couple, June and Day, are some of the most adorable people. She's stabby, he's also stabby. Its a match made in heaven. 





5. The Merciful Crow duology by Margaret Owens 

Wow, two duologies that have to do with Crows. It's almost like a theme....🤔 There were a lot of jaw dropping moments in these books that i wasn't expecting and i kinda want to reread it now lol. I don't read a lot of fantasy at the moment but these are incredibly written and you should read them! 





Please let me know if you read any of these! And give me any series you think i should read too!

January was definitely a month.....



i laughed, i cried, and i wondered when it would end. January is such a difficult month, in that everyone is scrambling to make plans and resolutions and figure out how to stick to them for the rest of the year. And yet nothing seems to stick.


However you're not here to read about me having an existential crisis, (goodness knows i've done too much of that lately lol) Here instead is the fun part of January. All the books i read and the movies i watched and all the playlists i made. 






 Books 

Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur

Wild at Heart by K.A. Tucker 

Forever Wild by K.A. Tucker

The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata 

Only When It's Us by Chloe Liese

A Study in Charlotte by Brittany Cavallaro

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon 

The Sweetest Oblivion by Danielle Lori 


None of these were really that 5 star book that i was looking for so any book recommendations would be appreciated! 






 Tv/Film

The Amazing Spiderman 2

The Witcher 

Little Women(2019)

Pride and Prejudice(2005)
