Lately I’ve found myself on a journey of remembering why I love to read. My love for reading has never waned. Even as I went to college and now graduate school and found myself reading for pl…| purely olivia
Hi, blogging world. Long time no see? It would be an understatement to say that I’m excited to be writing this post. After a really long absence from blogging (technically a year, but more like two years), I’m hopping back on here to talk about all the books I’m excited about reading this summer. Just […]| Purely Olivia
It’s been a long time since I last read a book that left me feeling viscerally changed. That is, until I finished reading When We Were Infinite a few days ago. Sitting in the back of my family’s minivan, hurtling down a highway in Tennessee as rain pounded the windshield, I just stared at the […]| Purely Olivia
I don’t think I’m alone in the feeling of falling in love with fictional characters... …or at least I hope I’m not. I’m not just talking about falling in love romantically, either. There are so many different ways that I can fall in love with a character. Sometimes, yes, I want to be with them, […]| Purely Olivia
I’m back again to spread some appreciation for the wonderful people that are bloggers. All the way back in August, I published the first segment of a new series on my blog called Blogger Origins. Despite the fact that it has taken me *much* too long to continue on with this series, I’m very excited […]| Purely Olivia
It’s been almost three weeks now, but I still can’t wrap my brain around the release of evermore.

Not only do I feel as if we’re undeserving of this incredible music, I’m surprised my heart survived listening […]| Purely Olivia
Well, summer is over. Part of me is sad about this, because my days spent reading and blogging as I pleased are over, and I’ve already returned to the routine of (online) school, dance, and with that comes stress. But I’m also very excited for fall to come soon and for the semblance of normalcy […]| Purely Olivia
Hi, friends! Welcome to my newest feature on the blog, Blogger Origins. I am way too excited for this post because I don’t think I can ever truly talk about how much I love the blogosphere and all the bloggers that are a part of it. Blogging takes so much time, dedication, and passion, so […]| Purely Olivia
Way back in January, when the world wasn’t turned upside down, I made some five star predictions. I like how my January self thought that I would do an update post on what I ended up thinking about the books in March, and here we are in August and I just now finished reading them […]| Purely Olivia
Welcome to Purely Olivia- Words that I haven’t typed in years. I can barely fathom that it’s been over two years since I last posted here and it’s been almost 4 years since I was …| Purely Olivia
