How This Blog Got Started
In late 2014, after getting a lot of encouragement from my dad, I started this blog under the name "Carpe Aeternatatum", a latin phrase that means "seize eternity". At first, I just concentrated on sharing whatever came to my mind, either stories from my life or sharing my perspective on life. But in 2016, I began to more intentional pursue writing Christian reviews, most specifically of Christian books. As the years when on, book reviews eventually became the vast majority of what I post.
As the years have passed, I have realized how much I want to make this concept into a ministry, and that I wanted to unite my personal branding. For years, I had gone by the name HPgirl0609 on YouTube (2008-2017) and the name Carpe Aeternatatum on this blog (2014-2017). But I realized I need to change that to further my reach for His glory. So I made the decision at the end of 2017 to buy my own domain and change all of my online branding to the name "Princess Worth Dying For" to unify my work in hopes that it will help me reach more people.

What I Do On This Blog (And on YouTube)
The main parts of this ministry are my work on my YouTube channel and my work on this blog. Most of my work on these sites will fall under the following categories:
1. Christian Reviews: My primary work on this blog has been writing reviews of books. Most of the books I review fall under these categories: Christian Living, Women's Issues, Teen Girl Issues, Apologetics, Contemporary Issues, and Christian Biographies. All my reviews are written with the intention of helping other Christians make God-honoring choices with the entertainment created by our ever-changing culture. I do also have some reviews of movies and Broadway musicals from some earlier days of blogging. All of these reviews are archived in the "Reviews" tab in their respective categories.
2. Christian Spoken Word: Most of my recent work on YouTube as been Spoken Word from a Christian perspective. For those that don't know what it is, spoken word is basically speaking freestyle poetry with a rap-like beat. It's a creative way for me to express things that God has laid on my heart. I may also write blog posts that supports the themes of my spoken words that I upload to YouTube.
3. A Christian's Insights: On both YouTube and here on my blog, I share my thoughts and perspectives on how to live the Christian life in our ever-changing culture. Some of these insights specifically address women and/or teen girls, but many of them could be applied to men as well. Many will be relevant stories from my own life. All of them will be shared with the intention of reaching other Christians live out the two greatest commandments: love God and love others.
This summarizes the majority of my current work online. These are the things that I believe God has empowered to do since I have learned that I am a Princess Worth Dying For. I hope that anyone that comes to either my blog or my YouTube channel will be encouraged and inspired to live their life in light of their value in God's eyes.

My Blogging Programs
As I have ventured into book blogging, I have joined some blogging programs that allow me to receive books for the purpose of recieving an honest review. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with all of these publishers:
