Top 10 Favorite Ships

Inspired by Sailor Moon, I set about making a list of my favorite ships and realized some surprising things: I'm not a big book shipper. Very few of my favorite couples come from novels. I don't ship as often as I used to, especially when it comes to love triangles. I can't make myself care… Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Ships

Why I love Netflix’s “Elite”

I just found a wonderful, trashy, perfect new show. Netflix claimed it was a 97% match for me. I began watching with blind trust. The show is called "Elite." Set in Spain, it follows three scholarship students who've just transferred to a fancy new school.

The Triumphant Return of R.I.P. It or Ship It

I keep about a dozen franchises locked away in my brain with one or two favorite characters from each. Because of this, I have the hardest time picking characters for challenges like R.I.P. It or Ship It, especially when I'm limited to BOOKS. Which is NONSENSE. Instead of choosing 30 characters, I only used characters… Continue reading The Triumphant Return of R.I.P. It or Ship It

Okay..."favorite" is a stretch...but I sure did love The Mortal Instruments in high school. I foolishly read Clockwork Angel first. Not only was I pretty confused, I...hated it? Like, all of it: the setting, the language, the characters... I (very reluctantly) picked up City of Bones and felt immediate relief. In it, an art student spending her 16th birthday at… Continue reading 10 Day Book Blog Post Challenge #5: Write about a film/TV adaptation of your favorite book

Second-string Fantasy Feminists

I came across a character I'd never heard of the other day that I immediately wanted on my fantasy feminist team. I would've called the post dedicated to her "The 12th (Wo)man: Rounding out the Fantasy Feminist Line-up." Then I discovered a whole host of female characters that I love. My reasons for choosing these… Continue reading Second-string Fantasy Feminists

Fantasy Feminist Team

I'm finally doing it. I'm forming a girl squad. I've put it off for years because my friends keep choosing true love over the sisterhood. They tell me marriage is a whole lot of fun. BUT IS IT?

(Per my mom's advice, a major SPOILER WARNING goes into effect starting now.) I knew I had depression when I couldn't get through an episode of skating anime "Yuri!!! on Ice" without sobbing.
