Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I watched Encanto while housesitting and ended up in a puddle on the floor. This movie is INTENSE. It absolutely deserved the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. If you haven't yet, please watch it. I found this book tag, created by Passport to Eden over on BookTube, on It's Just a Coffee Addicted Bibliophile. The… Continue reading Encanto Book Tag
I packed several dozen books for housesitting. Guess how many of them I read? I had such ambitions! Zezee did this TBR-themed book tag on her blog and I guess I feel like shaming myself. At the very least, because I drafted this post so long ago, I've since read some of these books! Huzzah!… Continue reading Not Enough Time TBR Book Tag
This book tag has 15 prompts and I need a distraction. From what? School, mostly. Do I spend more time complaining about school than I spend doing homework? Yes. I'm going to reveal whether I was part of the fandoms named in this tag. I currently belong to the Our Flag Means Death fandom and… Continue reading Fandom Book Tag
It's Top Ten Tuesday again and this week I'm sharing my shopping list! When pay day comes around, I buy bookish merchandise for escapist reasons! Do I have a problem? Maybe! A bookish t-shirt Now that I am ALMOST THIRTY, I try to avoid buying graphic t-shirts. Something something gotta look professional, also short-sleeve button-downs… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Bookish Merchandise I’d Love to Own
It's officially been spring for about a month and I'm not feeling it yet. We've had snow up in the Pacific Northwest. SNOW. In APRIL. Anyway, I am ready to wear shorts and go on little trips! Toooo...the bookstore! And the bakery! Maybe Powell's, if I feel so inclined! Also, I am having a NIECE… Continue reading Splendid Spring Book Tag
We're FOUR MONTHS INTO THE YEAR SOMEHOW. THAT'S...FINE. I found this tag, originally created by Roisin's Reading, at Fortunately, The book. And yes, I am doing this instead of homework! Huzzah! (I did one practice exercise, then called it a day. I'm doing my absolute best.) How many books have you read so far? I've… Continue reading The Quarter Year Crisis Book Tag
Another tag! Another tag! This one covers my two favorite things: romance and tropes. I found this tag on Another Bookworm, where I had a lot of fun reading Karla's answers. (She's 100% right about The Ex Hex.) You can find the original post at The Infinite Library. If you'd like to do the tag… Continue reading The Romance Tropes Tag
I did this tag in 2018. I saw Kristin do it on her blog recently and wanted to see how my answers had changed. Years later, I can't stop talking about The Princess Diaries. You have to get rid of all your books and you can only keep ONE from each of these genres: Contemporary,… Continue reading Bookish Scenarios Book Tag
Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic was a freebie! So of course I'm back with a post about sad things. Here are a few scenes from books I've read that absolutely destroyed me. Note the number of Neil Gaiman books included. (Many spoilers ahead) All the Feels by Olivia Dade (CW: domestic abuse) Because of his… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Moments in books that wrecked me
Hello! I just got back from another month of house sitting! I listened to a lot of audiobooks, cooked some nice meals, ordered a bunch of cookies, and watched every single episode of American Nailed It. It was a good time. I also started my practicum course and learned more about developmental editing. Friends. It… Continue reading March Wrap-Up: Back to School
