Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I'll be real: I did not think this post through. It's exciting! I'm improvising! And I'm surrounded by books! Surely a character will come to me! ...soon! Oh. Oh no. A character just came to mind and, um... Well... Let's just get into it. Jasper Renn from The Steampunk Chronicles Every time I think I've forgotten… Continue reading 10 Day Book Blog Post Challenge #2: Discuss a character
I saw this challenge on a fellow blogger's site and YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE A BANDWAGON WITH NUMBERED LISTS. (Also, there's a post I've been avoiding and this sounded more fun.) The gist: complete the checklist provided below by drafting and/or publishing one book-themed post a day.

GIRL SQUAD, ASSEMBLE! What would this squad do? I don't know. Win? Fight for love and justice?… Continue reading Fantasy Feminist Team

My pastor asked me how long I'd lived in Seattle yesterday. I did the math and realized it's been TWO YEARS. WOW. I guess that makes me a bonafide local. Even though most days I hate living here, I wanted to celebrate this milestone. If not celebrate, at least recognize. I don't think I'll live… Continue reading Happy Anniversary (two days late…)
