Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I just bought a beautiful Scorpio necklace at an Ashland jeweler to honor my moon sign. Do I put stock in astrology? I don't KNOW. I LOVE THE AESTHETICS. I LOVE A STAR MOTIF. I did an astrology tag previously, but I'm always looking for excuses to do more tags. The Awkward Book Blogger did… Continue reading Zodiac Signs Book Tag
Listen. My mom and I made the eight-and-a-half hour drive from Seattle to Ashland, Oregon WITHOUT stopping for books. THAT IS SOME WILL POWER. On our way back, we split the drive so we could hit Powell's for the second time this year. I planned ahead so I knew what to buy.

R2-D2: The lovable droid filled with sass Name a book that made you laugh The shade… Continue reading Star Wars Book Tag: ROUND TWO
I'm in a Star Wars mood. Also, I recently woke from a dream where my girlfriend and I watched Rise of Skywalker in a giant stadium theater. Miracles happen. Maddie did this Star Wars tag on Well-Read Twenty Something. It's mine now! Episode I: The Phantom Menace A book or series you pretend not to like but secretly do… Continue reading Star Wars Book Tag: ROUND ONE
