I'm doing my best to summon fall. It's 80 DEGREES, today. Are you JOKING? I'm supposed to be eating SOUP. I don't believe I did this tag last year, so here it goes. Come on, fall. Bring your fog and your crisp afternoons. I found this tag on Kristin's blog with the following rules: Please… Continue reading Fall Book Tag
Summer Sweatalong Book Tag
Oh, summer is over, is it? ....I'm still doing this tag. The start of September made me a bit nostalgic. To keep things fresh, I chose books from the distant past. ...by distant, I meant from the last 10-20 years. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT CLASSICS. (SPOILERS ahead.) My favorite season and why I like… Continue reading Summer Sweatalong Book Tag
R.I.P. It or Ship It: Star Wars Edition
Just giving the people what they want. I'm shipping Star Wars characters...but ONLY New Trilogy characters. MEANING I've limited my ships to NAMED characters who appear in the New Trilogy AND spend a significant amount of time onscreen. (REMINDER that this blog focuses on character dynamics rather than canon likelihood. Age differences, familial connections, incompatible orientations and… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Star Wars Edition
Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my TBR I’m avoiding
Top Ten Tuesday has returned. It happens every week! How come I am NEVER ready?? My TBR is 18 miles long and I'm avoiding a number of books on it, including (but not limited to) the following.

The Lover Book Tag: Round 1
All right, y'all. The book bloggers have created a GLUT of book tags based on Taylor Swift's Lover. Doing another one after my Lover Book Rec Post wouldn't be overkill...would it? TOO LATE, ALREADY DOING THIS ONE. The one Hâf did on The Library Looter (as created by Vicky) is my favorite so far. Good on you both. I Forgot… Continue reading The Lover Book Tag: Round 1
The Marvel Avengers Book Tag
I put this one off for a long time. I didn't feel I had enough books to explore the Marvel Universe. After a massive cheat, I feel more than ready. You'll see in a second. Katie over at Never Not Reading did this tag and her excellent answers convinced me to do it. Iron Man… Continue reading The Marvel Avengers Book Tag
Waffles Book Tag
I'm coming around to breakfast food. Did I mention I went to the Waffle Barn in Ashland? Wish I could recommend the Salted Caramel Waffle, but I was tempted by the Chocolate Chip Waffle instead. To make up for missing out on that caramel-y goodness, I'm doing the Waffles Book Tag as seen on Drizzle… Continue reading Waffles Book Tag
August: The Month of Rage
Last month's common thread: many of the things I read filled me with PALPABLE RAGE. Here are the lowlights. (Some spoilers ahead.) (CW: rape, abuse, neglect) From Speak: The Graphic Novel Melinda walks into the kitchen with self-harm scars. Her mom notices them and says, "I don't have time for this." Melinda stops speaking, develops scabs… Continue reading August: The Month of Rage
Pick a Crystal, Get a Book Rec
Some people believe in the healing properties of crystals. Others believe in the healing power of a good book. I like the idea of both. Know what else I like? Color-matching. I picked some of my favorite crystals and matched books that fit both the property and the color of said crystal. Go ahead. Browse… Continue reading Pick a Crystal, Get a Book Rec
Book Recs Based on Your Favorite Lover Track
AS I ADMITTED IN A PREVIOUS POST, I adore Taylor Swift's Lover. Epic Reads posted an amazing Lover-inspired YA book list the day the album dropped. Epic Reads brought the fantasy recs. I'm bringing the romantic contemporaries. Is that my brand now? Should I embrace glitter and pastels? To avoid that question, I'm starting Lover over from… Continue reading Book Recs Based on Your Favorite Lover Track
