You know how I made my Quintessential Summer Book Tag Midsommar-themed, as I am apparently obsessed with that movie? I decided that wasn't enough. WELCOME, FOLKS, TO THE MIDSOMMAR BOOK TAG. Everyone, do the tag! Come on, do it! It feels really nice! I will try to avoid spoilers. I'll try VERY hard. Oh, I… Continue reading Midsommar Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
Summer continues. The plot thickens. Over in Seattle, we have heat waves followed by heavy rains. It's a DOOZY. This tag has nothing to do with the movie Midsommar, which I saw last week and can't stop thinking about. It's almost midsummer, though, yeah? Close enough. Iced Drink A refreshing bookThis is your weekly… Continue reading The Quintessential Summer Book Tag
So many good tags this summer! I approve! SUMMER OF BOOK TAGS! Kristin shared her Book Bucket List recently. I don't like making plans, but this tag proposed fun plans instead of serious, financial plans. Into it. What book or series that intimidates you (because of length, density, or subject) would feel like an accomplishment… Continue reading Book Bucket List Tag
The best solution in a time of crisis is a personality quiz. This tag, pulled from the blog Fiction No Chaser, involves quizzes. Jess was nice enough to include rules and I loved her answers, so here we are. THE RULES Take all the quizzes down below and record your answers somehow. I decided to… Continue reading The Identity Crisis Book Tag
Jenna. Does. The. Best. Tags. I hadn't seen the thank u, next tag before Jenna did it. I love a good music/book/pop culture mash-up. Approve. A quick warning: these prompts turned into mini-essays that trended serious. But hey: the song is about break-ups and exes who've died. Some solemnity isn't unprecedented. Ahem. Thank you, next.… Continue reading thank u, next Book Tag
Due to my personal political frustrations, I sometimes fantasize about setting the current political system on fire. Luckily, I won't have to; the Democratic party is doing that for me. With more than 20 candidates in a party that can't agree on its priorities, I don't have much hope for the 2020 election. How do… Continue reading 2019 Democratic Debate Book Tag
Confession: I was a brony. Or...whatever the female equivalent is. In high school and college, many of my guy friends loved My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Once I started watching the show, I got their obsession. The show (at least the early seasons) prioritizes positivity, diversity, and inclusion. It offered a place for boys and… Continue reading My Little Pony Book Tag
This week's Top Ten Tuesday was a character freebie. Naturally, I went with my favorite type of character: the redhead. To begin this list, I must honor the OG redhead. #1. Anne Shirley Anne of Green Gables Anne hates her red hair. She dreams of becoming a raven-haired, violet-eyed hottie like her bosom friend… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Redheads in Literature
Whenever someone catches me eating cheese, I call myself a "flexible vegan." Let's pretend I chose this faction on purpose. Let's pretend the label fits and never chafes against purists' expectations. Let's pretend I am immune to guilt. Giving up meat was easy. The rest has been harder. * Friday night dinners with my partner… Continue reading Flexible Vegan
Did I rashly promise to do summer book tags? Does that sound like something I would do? Okay, hear me out: My friend Staci bought me Dear Evan Hansen for my birthday and I've been putting it off until...now, I guess. It's currently sitting on a shelf next to some other summer-y books that I've been prrrrrrromising… Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen Book Tag
