for the creative fair-folk
I’ve been writing pretty much my whole life. When your mom teaches reading recovery and “Handwriting without Tears” you don’t really get to escape the chapter books and lined paper and miniature pencils that go along with it. For me, though, this was never an annoyance. Even as a child, I found a way to …
journal. Wow. The year is halfway over, and I’ve fallen nearly miserably behind on my reading documentation. Needlessly said, I had big plans for Book Faeries this summer, but after a huge project of helping coordinate youth summer camp and a super major life change I’m excited to write about soon, I truly didn’t have …
journal. It’s a *late* wrap for March. I’m slightly behind on my reading goals as of writing this but never fear. There’s always the summer for catching up on those unfortunate books at the end of my lists that are started but not finished. I hope all of my readers have had restful Easter seasons, …
journal. And just like that it’s over. February may have been short but it was definitely busy. I struggled to meet my monthly goal this time around, but a couple rereads put me over the mark. School’s been a bit intense, so forgive my vague reviews. Books I read for school will be linked to …
journal. I can hardly believe that the month is nearly over. My little remaining break before school took off dawdled by, and once the spring semester began, it seemed the month was over. Tomorrow marks the last day of the month, and before I forget, I wanted to take a few moments to share all …
journal. It’s not often that I find myself in a position in which I am entirely envious of an author’s work. Frequently, I’ll notice a sentence that gives me a good shiver down my spine, a character arc that makes my chest swell, a point-of-view decision that worked out better than anticipated. These are nit-picky …
journal. If you didn’t know, I work at a Christian book warehouse. It’s lowkey havoc on my weak muscles, but I’m serving the Lord (bless us all who work in minimum wage, blue-collar, or retail/food. the world needs us all, yet we are sorely forgotten! Be assured, God plays no favorites and knows the fruit …
journal. happy thursday! hope your week is moving quickly (or slowly if you’re on vacation- I know this is a popular vacay week). Today, I wanted to take the time to write about some books I’ve been reading recently. If you know me personally, you know I’m crazy about GoodReads, which is basically social media …
journal. the following is a message posted on my personal instagram account after the current racial events in America. I found it refreshing to reflect on times in my life when I have learned many valuable lessons on race, such as my time in public high school in Florence, SC. A preface: Wilson High School …
salutations, howdy do, or (as we say here in SC) hey y’all! You’ve navigated yourself to book-faeries.com, and I’m happy you found me. Let me introduce myself: My name is Elizabeth Hanan Taylor, the queen of long, real names that actually have deep, sentimental meaning (or at least, that’s what I’ve convinced myself after years …
