 The saddest thing ever is having a story inside of you that's dying to be let out but you just can't write it.

I've been holding myself back for the past five years.

 Hiii guys!! It's been a while, right? Maybe a month? I've been so busy, I can't remember the last time I actually wrote a post instead of just uploading a book blitz. But anyways, today I'm really excited, because this is our very first library haul post! I'm currently at the library because my brother is doing some robotics thing in the other room, and I was going to work on my novel, but then I saw the beautiful books and knew I had to check some out. Reading > writing  Sorry, I just have my priorities straight. Anyways, let's go!! I'm just going to browse the shelves and pick up every book I like, and in like half an hour, I'll come back here to write about it. ✨  choosing the books ✨ My process of deciding on a book is as follows: Run my fingers along the spines of a row of books Stop on one that looks pretty/interesting Pull it out and examine the cover If the cover checks out (pun intended) look at the back If the book is hardcover, look at the...

The Art of Being Difficult by William Chekhov review (this book certainly lived up to its name because it was VERY DIFFICULT TO READ)

introduction A Loveless Child. A Loveless Woman. Sweet Romance. Murder. Satire. Desperation. Fate.  That's it. That's the whole back cover description. I suppose the ominous, mysterious ambience was partly what drew me in, but that's what made me lose interest, too. Hey, I'm Paige, and this is a review of "The Art of Being Difficult" by William Chekhov. I received a free copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review, but these thoughts are my own. Thank you, Mendelssohn Press! it was confusing to read  I don't know how to describe Chekhov's writing style, except that it's a tough read for those seeking a straightforward narrative.
