Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
It's 2020 and I'd like to highlight some small businesses (and a few larger ones) that you can order from this holiday season. I buy from some of these shops regularly and would love to see them get more business. Check out these stores for great gift ideas.

I would really like for this year to end already. It took me three days to realize the month had changed. November was pretty quiet. I researched autism this month and ended up self-diagnosing. Autism explains most, if not all, of my childhood and adolescence. I also learned to love romance again, but that's a… Continue reading November Wrap-Up: I initially wrote “September,” so that’s where I am emotionally
Hey, do you all remember that YA fantasy novel about trans brujxs and gay ghosts that came out in September and took the world by storm? There's a book tag based on it! I found this on Anniek's blog and enjoyed the hell out of their answers. These prompts are...so good? I loved this book… Continue reading The Cemetery Boys Book Tag
The internet talked me into reading The Poppy War and I've been working on it for s e v e r a l months. I honestly forget how long it's been. A while, most like. I'm trying my best. I saw this tag created in honor of The Dragon Republic's release. Here we go! Fang… Continue reading The Poppy War Book Tag
Ever have reading cravings? I have them all the time, especially under duress. Last month, I felt like picking up certain books and holding them to my chest like papery teddy bears (or, in my case, miniature plague doctors.) Some of the books I craved surprised me. They weren't my usual go-tos and most of… Continue reading Updated List of Comfort Reads
October went by so fast. Here we are, almost three weeks into November, and I still miss all the black cats and evil pumpkins. Here is a Halloween movie tag in honor of the horror movies clogging up my Netflix queue. I pulled this tag from its creator Robin @ Paperbacks and Planners. Let's see… Continue reading Halloween Movie Book Tag: Scream Inside Your Heart because Halloween is Over edition
I did this tag last year and liked that it held me [relatively] accountable. (I also didn't accomplish any of the things I promised to in that post, but you know what? Intentions are half the battle.) I also copied this tag from Elli @ AceReader last year and I'm DOING IT AGAIN. It's tradition… Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag 2020
Welp. Election Day is upon us and I'm trying to distract myself. October wrap-up time. I put too much pressure on October to be the best month ever. IT WAS NOT. There are MORE than a few reasons for this: I've been having issues with unemployment since May. In short, I'm still waiting on AT… Continue reading October Wrap-up: Spooky depressive once-in-a-blue-moon extravaganza
Oh nooooooo, am I doing the folklore book tag again? Jenna @Bookmark Your Thoughts tagged me and I am therefore compelled. (Thank you for tagging me, Jenna! It's a super fun tag!) I WILL NOT BE STOPPED. The Rules Link to the original creator: Ilsa @ A Whisper Of InkTag at least 3 people.Declare the rules… Continue reading What if I redid the folklore book tag? (folklore book tag round three)
I've been listening to musicals recently to help me cope with a sudden onslaught of work. I revisited some old favorites as well as a few that I once hated. Because I worked so much last week (and thus spent at least 50 hours listening to musicals), I decided to do book recommendations based on… Continue reading Book Recs Based on My Favorite Musicals
