31 Days Grace: March.

So, March happened! And it was a month spent in the big smoke. LDN. Laandaaann. I lived the life of an intern; hopping from one tube to another, sniffing out the cheapest lunch spots, calling up local friends for a comfy night, learning the delicate art of filling a filter coffee pot, and expertly juggling email inboxes. Oh yes, I learned a lot this month.
What I read in March 2017.

Welcome to this month's reading wrap-up! If you didn't know, I've been sticking to a schedule book-wise so far this year; choosing certain themes or genres - or publishers!
Before
the beginning of March 2017, I somehow scored an internship at Walker
Books. So my reading theme for the month was adjusted
accordingly! I have spent the past 4 weeks reading exclusively Walker
Books, and let me tell you…they know what’s good.
Bullshitting on your CV.

Confession
time, guys. I may have…I mean, I did… *clears throat*
I
lied on my CV.
For
years I actually typed out lies, printed them off and handed them out
to people – not just people, potential employers. Surely the worst
people to lie to… and yet the people we as a species seem to lie to
the most?! Ugh, I am shuddering just thinking about it.

Don't you know that you're toxic......?!

I've
started and stopped writing this post so many times now. Every time
I've had to close my laptop, mellow out and consider: is it really
worth posting? Is it, though? Well, now I feel I must,
because I've had so many conversations with others lately that make me think that maybe, just maybe...it isn't just me.
I'll
stop beating around whatever dirty, vague shrubbery is growing here now – in
this post I am going to address the issue of one-sided
friendships. Also known as those very dramatically named toxic
friendships. Yeah, I'm opening this can. Watch out. The worms will fly everywhere.
So
in case you didn't know, a one-sided friendship, a toxic friendship,
is when one of your closer acquaintances (I'm really aware I'm going
to use the word 'friend' a lot in this post, brb getting a thesaurus
up online) seems to get more out of your little union than you do.
They take take take, and rarely, if ever, give.
The soundtrack to 'Songs About A Girl'.

Hey,
music lovers. And YA readers, you too! Especially
you #boybandlit folks,
this one's gonna be your jam...okay, now I have your attention, I'll
be keeping my intro minimal today. Let's hand over to the mega star
that is Chris
Russell; the sweetheart, undiscovered hair model, hardcore
Directioner, and author of 'Songs
About a Girl',
the book that rocked our worlds in 2016. He's going to tell you all
about the music behind the book!
"Songs
About a Girl is a book about music, in more ways than one.
My fictional boy band Fire&Lights are at the centre of the
story, of course, but as someone whose entire life has revolved
around music, I also wanted to explore the way songs can function as
“memory keys” - potent little time capsules that unlock forgotten
moments in our past.
The girl who changed you.

It's
finally happened to you. I knew it would. It was due. She was
waiting – or were you?
It's
there when I open the apps; tags and favourites and sharing, so so
much sharing. I
see her getting off the train and walking hurriedly to town,
or coming the other way, a smile on her perfect face. It's there. But
not for everyone to see. Not yet.
Your
situation, this excitement and intensity brewing in your heart and
mind that's so alien...is only hinted at to begin with. Like it's a
secret and you don't want to jinx it. Like people knowing could stamp in the freshly laid snow, spoil the clean crisp sheets, steal the smooth stone that's skimming so perfectly. I smile and I
know. Even if you don't.
She's that girl – that woman. Kerri,
Ashleigh, Paris, Heather. Demi, Kristie, Holly, Maria.
Nobody likes you, everyone left you, they're all out without you...having fun...

I
am the uncool kid. No, seriously. I really am, always have been,
the furthest from cool in any group of people. I hardly ever (I won't say never)...belong.
This
is not a 'woe is me, I'm such a nerd omg you don't understand' post,
I promise! This is my way of explaining some of my thoughts and
feelings and my minor but nevertheless significant *deep breath* ...social anxieties.
Firstly,
I know that 'social anxiety' is a 100% legit thing, I know it's a
medical condition and it causes all manner of hell for some
unfortunate humans. I do not use that term lightly, like some might.
I promise.

Today,
I saw him. That one. Who I thought, once upon a time, was The One.
Pronounced 'theee won'. With
a sigh and a long blink.
What I'll be reading in March 2017.
3 March 2017 • bookish, gracie actually reads, March 2017, reading, reading schedule
Well
hello there, this is the latest in my new sort-of series this year;
my monthly reading schedules! That's right, if you don't know
already, in 2017 I plan on devoting my reading each month to a
specific genre, subject matter, publisher or maybe even author. This
is all in an effort to a) get my blogging – and thus, life – more
in order, lol wish me luck, and b) get me reading things I've never
heard of, or heard of but not tried out yet, or just had sitting on
the TBR pile for what feels like forever. Okay, cool. So. What am I
reading in March?
