Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
My mom suggested this tag a while ago. Like, a WHILE ago. I used my real-life wardrobe for inspiration and chose multiple femme items. Feel free to exchange any of the provided clothes with ones you would actually wear. Basic Black Dress The most common genre in your book collection Most of my collection… Continue reading Fashion Book Tag
A couple days ago, I chose protagonist Emi to represent my entire personality. I'd identified closely with Harry Potter in the past, but those days were over... ...right? Then I thought of ANOTHER perfect character. And another. And another. I am a complex cocktail of neuroses and traits. One character is simply not enough.

I came across Sam Dylan Finch's wonderful blog on Twitter. His writing is so clear and compassionate. I don't LOVE how much I identify with this post, which is exactly why it's so important. Give it a read.
I know this is my third post today. I can't be stopped. Today's Top Ten Tuesday let me choose ten books from my favorite genre. Broad, sweeping statement: I love epistolary novels the MOST. It's a genre! Accept it! These are my ten favorites. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky: Charlie… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Epistolary Novel Favorites
May is over. I worked a bunch and survived the May Day protests. Lots of OTHER things happened, only some of them cheese-related. General updates: My partner came home early! Hooray! (She left at the beginning of April and had planned to return in mid-July. I am much happier with the new plan.) I shaved… Continue reading May Highs and Lows

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CONCEPT I CAN SUPPORT. Anyway. For this fun tag, thank Xandra and for sure read her posts. If your… Continue reading Who Am I? Book Tag
Happy Pride Month!! I waited a full year to do this tag after seeing it on May's blog. I'd hoped to have read thousands more LGBTQIA+ books by now. Oh well. I have plenty waiting in the wings.

Shana at Bionic Book Worm decided on Summer Time reads today. Cool. Will this list look suspiciously similar to my last list? Who can say? (Yes. Yes, it will.) Everything Leads to You Read during: the summer solstice School's out, your brother's gone, and you and your best friend have a rad summer job.… Continue reading Top 5 Summer Time Reads
I suspect this will be a challenge. Many of the bloggers I follow posted their lists this morning (as inspired by That Artsy Reader Girl.) I can't figure out what "the last 10 years" covers. This year? Is 2009 included? I'm going to start in 2010 and do my best to pick an early favorite… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books released in the last ten years
