Thanksgiving week!!! It’s Tuesday so you know what that means…
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
November 26: Thankful Freebie
I feel as though I get emotional on here once a month. It’s just my way I guess.
I’m sure you all have noticed that my posts have not been as precise as they once were and I haven’t been doing so well with commenting on other blogs and for that I am truly sorry.
I’ve mentioned this before but I do suffer from depression and anxiety and it heightens around this time due to the change of seasons and also the holidays. This year has also been rough for me. It is getting a lot better and for that I am thankful.
Juliet received student of the month for the 3rd time in a year :), I met somebody wonderful and I’m really happy, I created this blog and it’s flourishing and I’m ECSTATIC.
Still sometimes I feel this emptiness inside of me and when I think upon it – it grows. Nothing I do seems to stop it from growing. The bad thoughts linger and I feel utterly useless in the big scheme of things.

Now I know that’s not true and that’s just mental illness talking to me but it’s hard to push away especially when you’ve had a bad day and you’re already feeling bad about yourself.
I’m trying.
This blog helps so much.
I love to read and I love to write and I’m a people person. I get so much joy connecting with people and it brings me so much happiness that people love this blog. I think sometimes the routine of posts and the pressure I put on myself to bang out 2 posts a day gets to me and I just need to chill out a little.
Not a lot, just a little.
Thank you all for your patience and for supporting this blog of mine. It means a lot that you do. As I state in my about me page I started this right after the death of my grandmother and a breakup this summer to help cope with my anxiety and depression. And also because I wanted to read free advanced books…
But really to help cope and it’s helped SOOO MUCH.
This brings me to the topic at hand which I never do ten of lmao.
Juliet

Of course I’m grateful for my baby who is a mini me and drives me absolutely insane but I love her so very much. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She is a piece of me forever and always. Today while getting her ready for school I kept kissing her cheeks and calling her my demon baby and she kept hissing at me. My love, my heart.
My Followers
I am thankful for you guys š
As of right now I have over 450 followers and it BLOWS MY MIND
Like WHAT IN THE HELL??? I started this blog in June and the fact that it has grown to this size is mind blowing to me. I’ve met so many great people and made amazing friends and I love you all so much. I look forward to your posts and reading your blogs and adding your books to my forever growing Goodreads TBR.
I hear so much about the negativity of the online book community but have NEVER encountered it myself. You’re all freaking wonderful and I luh ya all.
My Books

Reading is kind of like a coping mechanism for me. When my mother was in the hospital I read so many while I stayed with her. I will bite you over my books.
Neopets
Without Neopets I would be trash at HTML which would make this blog look not a mess but not UP TO MY STANDARDS
My Friends
My biggest supporters. I don’t know what I would do without you guys. Thank you for your love and endless help and support on twitter and whatnot. Some of you I have known for over TEN YEARS. I love you guys so so much. God. I want to eat you all.
Thanks for going through the motions with me everyone ⤠I hope you continue to enjoy my content. It’s been an amazing journey I have to say.
That pic of Juliet! She’s so cute! That filter! š ⤠omg Neopets. Neopets was my life lol, I had a fairy poogle but had named it silverpoogle72 or something because I never imagined getting the fairy paintbrush all those years ago. X'DDD The wonderful memories though. I hope you feel increasingly better and the weather improves where you live. Can totally relate to the weather exacerbating anxiety/depression/blahness. Always happy to see your posts, take care of yourself.

This is such a lovely, honest post, Amanda. š Your little girl is so cute and seeing Neopets on your list made me laugh – I loved that site when I was younger, and you’re so right about it teaching so many of us some html skills.
