Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Last night, all of my body parts were warm at the same time. I have been freezing my ass off at the office for the last two years. Now I'm working from home and feel, dare I say, comfortable? Riddhi @ Whispering Stories tagged me in the Finally Fall Book Tag. I love fall, so… Continue reading Finally Fall Book Tag
I heard tell of These Violent Delights, a historical-fantasy retelling of Romeo and Juliet, on Twitter. The book takes place in Shanghai and the Montagues and Capulets have been replaced by two rival gangs. I'm ALL FOR THAT. The book comes out November 17th AND there's a preorder campaign, so that's pretty neat. Mieke created… Continue reading These Violent Delights Book Tag
We're DEEP into spooky season and I am DRUNK. (I'm playing Among Us with friends. Don't worry about it.) Ace Reader did this tag on her blog and BECAUSE IT'S FALL NOW, I had to do it. Pumpkin Spice Latte A book that everyone likes to hate on but is delicious I read some reviews… Continue reading The Pumpkin Spice Latte Book Tag
It's spooky season and what's spookier than vulnerability? I mentioned in my September wrap-up that I downloaded OkCupid again. That lasted about two-and-a-half weeks. The final straw came when someone asked me out only to unmatch with me right before we finalized plans. Conventional wisdom said to move on and not take it personally. As… Continue reading Spooky Confessions: Dating Fears
In the past few days, I've scarfed down two mini cheesecakes and a pint of cheesecake ice cream. Winter is coming and I must prepare. Speaking of delicious baked goods, I found this baking-themed tag on Ace Reader, a gem of a blog if there ever was one. It was created by the unmatched Kay… Continue reading The Bookish Baking Tag
It's the final day of voting for Fat Bear Week and high time I shared my reading stats for last month. September was decent (better than August, anyway.) I got to see both of my brothers and some other family members. I spent an entire weekend with a pack of dogs and spent a ton… Continue reading September Wrap-up: I think I’m cured of brain worms
It's spooky season now. This year, I'm leaning in EXTRA hard to the pumpkins, black cats, and skeletons. (The election is incoming. Let me have this joy.) I crafted this overly ambitious October TBR that I almost certainly won't finish, BUT...what if I did? Wouldn't that be sooo spoooky? Seriously, there are dozens of books… Continue reading October TBR: Stretch Goal City

I found another folklore book tag, this one created by Star is All Booked Up. I tried to diversify my answers - not sure I succeeded! the 1 a book you grew out of The Matched series by Ally Condie was, for me, Baby's First Dystopian Sci-Fi. I loved the world, the premise, everything about… Continue reading foklore book tag
My very first therapist once asked about my sexuality. I told her I was queerer than most people but still considered myself more-or-less straight. Yes, I thought women were pretty in a strictly heterosexual way. Romantically and sexually, though, I only liked dudes. At the time, I meant it. * At fourteen, I jammed myself… Continue reading Writing from the Closet
