Jolene's Cozy Corner

    This is a short story I wrote a few months ago with the writing prompt "I Am Most Proud of...". This may be a bit longer than other short stories that I may write about in the future, but I hope you'll enjoy it for the time being! I Am Most Proud of . . . (This is a short story with two points of views.) I am most proud of myself, for I, Patrick, the flying penguin, have gone on a journey across the globe to find someone who is equally as wonderful as I.

Hi! My name is Jolene and this is my blog! I love books but have trouble finding ones that I like. So, this summer I've decided to set the goal of reading about ten books. Some that I feel are in my comfort zone and some that are a bit "out-there". The genre that I usually like to stick to is fantasy, recommended for 13+ readers (like Lunar Chronicles). I will also post a few short stories every now and then too, for the fun of it. This blog is made not only for my reading journey, but for yours too! Maybe you're having the same problem as me and this blog will be helpful! I'll try to post at least once a month, but ideally two-to-three (I'm a bit busy this summer). Happy reading!
