I've taken the initiative and decided to read Stephenie Meyer's 10th Anniversary edition of "Twilight Reimagined", AKA Life and Death . Meyer rewrote the story of Twilight with a change in gender roles for each of the characters, except Charlie, Renee, and Phil. I'm unsure as to why she wouldn't consider changing them, especially if she changed every other gender role (even down to the secretary in the high school or the biology teacher). It could be for the simple fact that (despite it sounding genderized), it'd be more difficult to have a workaholic mother who didn't notice every small thing about her child compared to a father. In all regards, however, what reader of the Twilight Saga didn't absolutely LOVE Charlie's character? Maybe it's for that simple fact that Meyer didn't change his role and for that, I can be content with.

     Jenna Evans Welch has returned once more! Love and Olives introduces Liv (a new-and-improved version of Olive). She's lived with her mom for the past nine years and hasn't spoken with her father since he scurried across the Mediterranean Sea to settle into his home town of Santorini, Greece.  Liv's grown up believing her father had abandoned her and her mother in order to discover the Lost City of Atlantis, something both Liv and her father had worked on studying together for most of her childhood. Liv has the summer planned to-a-T with her boyfriend, Dax. They'll be camping with each other in a few weeks, making last memories with each other before senior year and colleges in the future. Liv was looking forward to having everything structured... until she receives a postcard with distinctive handwriting informing her that he's very close to finding Atlantis and could really use her help. It was her father and he was reaching out.      In true ...

  2020 was a devastating year for many people, if not everyone, around the world. I stepped into the year with hopes to allow myself a change in mindset. I'd lost my Uncle in 2019 unexpectedly and it changed my perspective on day-to-day activities dramatically. I was treading water for the last leg of the year and looked forward to a new year in order to look forward to things changing. Then 2020 happened and the entire world (literally) broke on it's axis. I worked through the entire pandemic in healthcare, never got COVID-19 (luckily), and still find myself there to this day. I've lost countless residents throughout the year, fellow coworkers, and overall energy and the love of life. I've lost myself over this past year and losing my Grammy towards the end of the year (a few months past my Uncle's one-year anniversary) was the unwanted icing on my 2020 shit-cake. She hadn't even passed of COVID-19 and I can't explain the amount of unhappiness I've felt...
