Hello, everyone! Like the title says, we’re getting a new puppy! She is an eight-week-old golden retriever. Her name is Charlie. I haven’t met her yet because she is in Hood River, Oregon at the moment. But she’ll be home by the time I’m done with work tonight. I promised my sister that I wouldContinue reading “A New Puppy!”

Hello there! Thanks for checking out my blog. Fun Facts: • I'm in my mid 30s! • Writing is a HUGE part of my life—I'd be lost if I couldn't express myself through words. (Growing up, books were a source of comfort for me. I’m still drawn to bookshelves & read as often as I can.) • My other hobbies include knitting, gaming, & coloring. • I have two "Golden Girl" Retrievers, Charlie (4) & Lily (almost a year old! How time flies). My family, friends, dogs, & fiancé Rory are all very important in my life. I honestly wouldn't trade them for anything! Happy blogging, everyone! 💙

The first being how you physically get your words on the page, and the second being what medium you use to accomplish this task.Continue reading “Writing vs. Typing”

New Theme, New Name, Y’all!
Hello, there! This is what used to be called Nerdshelf Life. Welcome, instead, to The Nerdy Nook! It’s still the same blog, just running a different theme (the twenty-twenty theme) and under a brand-spanking new name. I’m excited because ALL of my stuff transferred over. I was panicked for a second because I clicked onContinue reading “New Theme, New Name, Y’all!”
A Beginner’s Guide to A Little Life
You will become obsessed with the characters. That’s a given. Be prepared to cry. Have Kleenex at the ready. If you don’t love the name Jude, you will be the end of the novel. If you don’t feel bad for these characters, then you’re heartless. You’ll feel the aftereffects of the novel days, years afterwards.Continue reading “A Beginner’s Guide to A Little Life”

Hello, everyone! The reason I haven’t been posting as frequently as I’d like is due to a bad cold, one that I’ve had since last week. Despite my cold, I’ve been working on a book review and an album review. I’m excited to share both with you guys. Here’s to getting better! Cheers,Meghan

On Editing a Book
Hello, dear reader! For those of you who don’t know, I finished writing a sci-fi book. I finally figured out the title, which I’ll keep a secret until I’m ready to publish it. I’m enjoying typing out what I’ve written, and have found that my chapters are much longer than I remember. (No wonder IContinue reading “On Editing a Book”
Afghan Blanket Update!
I’m almost done with my moss stitch lap blanket. Several months–and many books later–I’m steadily knitting and purling my way towards the end of my afghan. It’s been a new challenge for me, because it’s been years since I tried following a pattern. The projects I normally did in the past were scarves, where IContinue reading “Afghan Blanket Update!”
