Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Last month, Halsey released a live version of Badlands! I listened to it twice today! It's great! Even better: to commemorate the live album, Alison @ antari reads created the Badlands book tag! In my last post, I told you that all I want to do is post book tags and talk about music, so… Continue reading badlands book tag
Back at it with book tags because this is where my brain is at. This tag, based on Halsey's most recent album, was created by BookTuber Fadwa, AKA Word Wonders. I was inspired to do it by Theresa at areadingelf (creator of the Sapphic Book Tag) and by Halsey herself, who has been advocating for Black… Continue reading Manic Book Tag
I've listened to Taylor Swift's folklore close to two dozen times since its release. And, yes, despite my big research project not too long ago, my beloved reputation has been ousted by newcomer folklore. Folk is a very natural fit for Taylor Swift's vocal stylings - I'm surprised no one thought to explore this pairing sooner. folklore feels more vulnerable than… Continue reading folklore is my favorite: an album dissection
Taylor swift is dropping a surprise album tonight and my coworker knew about it before I did. Speaking of work, my team has been working mandatory overtime off and on for the last week. This album release is the only thing keeping me going. Let's talk about we know. It's called folklore Per Swift, the… Continue reading What we know about Taylor Swift’s surprise album
You know those super-casual Taylor Swift fans who listen to Lover on loop and add tracks from reputation to every playlist? That's the type of fan I was before Netflix released Miss Americana. Now, I guess, you can call me a Swiftie. However, knowing this about myself hasn't made it any easier to pick a favorite album. Before Lover came… Continue reading Picking a Favorite from Taylor Swift’s Discography
Merry holiday! I'm in Spokane for a second family Christmas; right now I'm watching Hallmark Christmas movies with my brother's dogs and my sick dad. (My dad is doing yoga and calling the dogs "Chocky." I don't know why.) Emer has been doing tags nonSTOP this season (including this one) and I love her for… Continue reading The Twelve Days of Christmas Book Tag
Oh, Spotify. Without you, how could I write fiction? My characters would be flat humanoids lacking personal anthems. I found this great tag on Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them (great blog name!) Can you tell that I'm still procrastinating? Listen, NaNoWriMo is kicking my butt. Let me have this. Hit Rewind: a book… Continue reading Spotify Book Tag
I've done this tag before, but Emer tagged me a second time and I DON'T WANT TO WORK ON MY DRAFT. WELCOME TO THE OMG THIS SONG BOOK TAG. I'M GOING TO POST BOTH BOOKS AND SONGS. WHAT A GREAT DAY. (A note to my dad: Some of these songs have swears) MY JAM a… Continue reading OMG This Song Book Tag: Round 2
Before this tag, I had never heard of Becky G. According to my research, she's a 22-year-old Latin singer/songwriter who started out doing covers on YouTube. Leelynn created this original tag + graphics using Becky G's brand-new LP. (She is the true Queen of Tags.) Music, graphics, and books? What a find! Now let me… Continue reading Mala Santa Book Tag
Would you believe I thought this tag referred to the nursery rhyme? Oh...no one's surprised. That's fair. Lil Peep was a rapper who died in 2017. This tag uses his songs as prompts. That's all I really know. Halei did this tag on her great blog Degenerate Reads with the intent of spread it around… Continue reading Lil Peep Book Tag
