This is my bi-weekly series to share with you whatever I'm reading that has either interested, entertained, or angered me. I'll talk about the book I'm reading, articles I've read, blog posts I've liked, interesting videos, ect. This is one of my favorite type of posts to read on other people's blog, so I hope you will find some links you enjoy!
Want to know what else I'm reading? Be my friend on Medium and Bloglovin' and Goodreads for more!
Since this is my first 'What I'm Reading' post there will probably be much more article links than normal. I've been saving up posts to share with y'all for awhile!
Books:
The first week of December was a huge struggle due to finals and all the messy stress that comes along with them. I managed to finish reading The Sea is Quiet Tonight by Michael W. Ward. It's a memoir about a man who lost his partner to AIDS and their love story.I'm also halfway through reading Shonda Rhimes' Year of Yes which I started reading during November. I didn't think I could love Shonda Rhimes any more, but never say never. I just want to be as cool as her, okay? I can tell that I'm going to read this book over and over again for the rest of my life.
I will go more in-depth about these books in my 'What I Read in 2016' review list!

"I think you should write the truth. Be real. If you obsess about redemption instead of the truth, you'll be like me, writing nothing, because life is not redemptive. Life isn't like that. Just write your own messy life, and let it spill out."
