FairyLoot Buddy Reads (with Kristin)

I feel a little out of practice when it comes to writing blog posts these days, as it's been some time since I've actually had the time to sit down and create some content for this little ol' corner of the internet. But I've recently decided that it was high time to make a return to…

Rachel , Kristin and I had our first ever Festive Fun Da y last year, where we get together to spend a day checking out some of the festive things going on in New York City.

Merci, Paris! Part 02

When Rachel & I decided that our 2019 trip would be a return to Paris for us both, I was eager to experience the city again, this time armed with realistic expectations and a relaxed itinerary. Our trip ended up being so lovely, even with all the unexpected mishaps we went through, and I’m exc…

Merci, Paris! Part 01

I’ve always romanticized Paris in my mind, but my initial trip there in 2016 with my family served as a reality check for that film perfect daydream that I’d always clung to.

Alexa's Adventures #11 | Anime Day + Boston Teen Author Festival

Even before the month started, I already knew September was going to be filled with a ton of fun events! True enough, I've barely had time to sit on my laurels (both when it comes to actual work and to the fun stuff), but I wouldn't have it any other way. (Okay, maybe I would like work to …

Alexa's Adventures #10 | Blue Box Cafe, The Little Mermaid + Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

While I'm pretty consistent about updating my Instagram to share all the fun things I've been up to, I realized that it had been a while since I'd managed to do that for the blog. (It's been a little while since I've blogged, really.) Since I'm feeling inspired to pick up t…

ApollyCon 2018

It's been three years since the last time I got to attend ApollyCon , so I was looking forward to being there for this year's three-day event in the Washington DC area. While it might have started as an event where Jen celebrated the release of her new Titan series with author friends, it&#…
