January Inked on Paper || Tears, olives and the raven boys

February 2, 2022June 18, 2022 iamanolive46 Comments

In a very unexpected turn of events, January ended up being pretty amazing.

I mean what do you call:

Getting back into Fantasy and devouring them ALL
FINDING A NEW FAVORITE AND SCREAMING ABOUT IT (we’re talking about the raven boys, if you had not guessed that already)
It rained here after 2736728292910* years of no rain (EXCITEMENT)
Reaching 300 followers on bookstagram
Not having to go to school because IT WAS ALL ONLINE
Getting obsessed with the raven boys and GANSEY
EATING SO MUCH CAKE
Drowning in gorgeously written books
AND DID I MENTION THE RAVEN BOYS??

There are extremely FEW reasons why the year end is a GOOD time for a bookworm.

Most of the time you can find them crying in dark corners and complaining about unread releases to dusty curtains and also attempting to conquer TBRs despite all the efforts made of convincing them to do the contrary. However, since we are trying to be oPtIMiStIc here, some reasons why bookworms can be happy creatures even during year ends:

October + November Inked on Paper || Stalking cats, losing NaNo (oops), reading practically non-existent, and me just being an evil little olive

It is that time of the month again that I spend all my days waiting for – the month end has arrived!

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before (It might have come up in conversation a few time, i guess? No?) but reading Monthly Wrap Ups makes me insanely delighted and it has reached to so huge an extent that it is probably unhealthy at this point. But there’s just something about these wonderful, beautiful, untamed wild beasts the blogging community likes to lovingly refer to as Wrap-Ups that they make my mouth water, and make me jump up and down in anticipation. In short, it is – AMAZING.

September Inked on Paper || late wrap – ups are my tradition, okay?! And I was busy

October 22, 2021June 18, 2022 iamanolive34 Comments

I TRULY WONDER…

How DO people stick to schedules?* I NEED TO KNOW YOUR SECRETS, because it would be really helpful for many things such as:

writing monthly recaps on time (seriously, this one is SO on time, I am the most punctual human on Earth, I can’t even – WHY. IS. THIS. SO. LATE???)
reading ARC’s before they expire
reading library books before they have to be returned (WHY DO I HAVE TO RETURN THEM AT ALL?? this is such an unfair world)
STAYING ON TRACK WITH YOUR GOODREADS CHALLENGE
Going to bed early so that you do not accidentaly doze off while you’re supossed to be learning about cell structures
not studying for tests 5 minutes before class because YOU FORGOT
not forgetting to breathe because ugh, I need to live
publishing blog posts on time
not losing memory

August Inked on Paper || School, homework, reading slump + some snippets from my WIP!!

September 5, 2021June 18, 2022 iamanolive12 Comments

August is over and… school and time have signed a deal to help each other torture me together *sigh*

Monthly wrap ups are my most favorite posts to write. Because I can look back at how unproductive I’ve been over the month and I love looking back. I also get to talk about life in general and I like that, and I can write LONG posts and I love long posts because it gives me more time and space to ramble on about nothing, and I love that too. *glares* So, welcome to my first monthly wrap up on Dipped in Ink!
