WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVE NATURE/OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | FAVE NATURE/OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

Posted on April 28, 2021May 18, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  Me and the outdoors… it’s complicated. I love getting outside in Spring and early Summer. I love digging in the dirt, I love feeling the breeze on my face, smelling the plants, feeling sun on my face. But nature, it does not like me. I’ve developed increasingly bad allergies, and now those tie into READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | IF I WON THE LOTTERY...

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | IF I WON THE LOTTERY…

Posted on April 14, 2021March 7, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  Oh, man. This is such an open-ended prompt, because who couldn’t sit here all day spinning fantasies of the things they would do if they won the lottery? My fantasies have shifted since my medical issues have worsened – at the moment my #1 thing would be to move to a house with no READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER

Posted on April 7, 2021March 4, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  I absolutely choose books based on all sorts of things that aren’t the reviews or the description. Covers, titles, aesthetic, topic, the interest of someone whose opinions I trust, an association with someone I care about… all kinds of things influence my decision to pick up a book. Here are some I add based READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | TV SHOWS I BINGED

Posted on March 31, 2021March 4, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  I am big on TV, especially right now, for obvious reasons. I do like a good binge, and there are several shows I have binged in the past, or would binge if I could stop myself watching the episodes right away! Here are some of my more recent picks (or re-watches): Dear White People READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY LAST MEAL

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY LAST MEAL

Posted on March 24, 2021March 4, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  I’m not a huge foodie. Mostly because I’m vegetarian, and there are very few big deal meals that don’t feature some kind of dead animal. I do have favourite meals, but there has only been one experience in my whole life that stood out for its culinary delights: visiting New Orleans. Of course, New READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY THEME SONG

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY THEME SONG

Posted on March 17, 2021March 3, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  I love music. I have spent a lot of my life with certain songs on repeat, and I’ll almost always have a few songs I’ve recently discovered (though they may not be new songs) that I’m obsessed with. So if the prompt were some songs you’re really into right now I’d be totally set. READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | BEST GIFTS FOR BOOK LOVERS

Posted on March 10, 2021March 2, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  Well, the obvious answer here is a gift card for a bookstore, because that is all a booklover EVER wants, really. But there are book-adjacent things that we are also pretty fond of! Blankets There is really nothing better than curling up under a soft, fuzzy, warm blanket to read your book. We need READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST WEAKNESS

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST WEAKNESS

Posted on March 3, 2021March 9, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  Hmmm. Well I feel like I kind of touched on this in last week’s post, and mentioned how much I dislike this question in job interviews! I don’t like it much better here, but I’ll give it a go. I have a lot of flaws, like anyone. I can have a quick temper (though READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST STRENGTH

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | MY GREATEST STRENGTH

Posted on February 24, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  This prompt is like in job interviews when they ask you your biggest flaw and you have to come up with something that sounds legit, but isn’t bad enough that they wouldn’t want to hire you, and if possible, can also be twisted to be a good thing. (I suspect pretty much everyone says READ MORE

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | HOW I TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH

WEDNESDAY BLOGGING CHALLENGE | HOW I TAKE CARE OF MY HEALTH

Posted on February 18, 2021February 18, 2021 by RAIN CITY READS

  Well this is a doozy of a first prompt for me to hop on board with, huh? It feels like health is not something anyone is really aiming for at the moment, because we’re all consumed with just getting through this. Many of us are doing so by upping our consumption of pizza/Netflix/alcohol/chocolate/other random READ MORE
