Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I FOUND A TAG ABOUT ICE CREAM. I ate THE BEST plant-based rhubarb yogurt the other day. (Thanks for letting me switch with you, Nikita.) I have a coconut-chocolate Haagen Dasz layer concoction in my freezer. I'm getting hungry. Vanilla A book you wish had more flavor I don't understand...this book won AWARDS. The… Continue reading Ice Cream Book Tag
I'm no Swiftie, yet here I am doing another Taylor Swift book tag. I really loved Olivia's take. She developed this excellent tag, as well as the graphics I'll be using. Bird murder!? BIRD MURDER!? I thought this would be a cute domestic comedy about lesbians!! Reading The Summer of Salt reminded me of We Need to… Continue reading Wonderstruck Book Tag
EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING No joke, I have several MONTHS-old drafts of this same post, but none of them ever felt right. Hamilton happens to be my partner's favorite musical, so that motivated me to (finally) finish. I tried to turn this into a list of my favorite Hamilton show moments, but all my favorite moments came from the… Continue reading Top Ten Favorite Hamilton Songs
Has it been almost 2 years since Wonder Woman came out? That's nuts! Cassidy did this tag over on The Little Book Cottage. Read her post for even more Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman: Your favorite badass female book character… Alanna of Trebond was the OG Badass Lady Knight.. Without Alanna, there would be no Kel. LOOK… Continue reading Wonder Woman Book Tag
As April approaches, I want to recognize some of the books I purged earlier this month. I'd estimate that between this Purge and the last one, I got rid of at least 100 books. My collection feels much more manageable now. I also made an Unread Books spreadsheet and a Rereads spreadsheet to help me… Continue reading Victims of the Lenten Book Purge
I know I just did an alphabet tag, but I wanted to do another. I saw this tag on Degenerate Reads, a blog I just love. I find great feminist and LGBTQIA+ book recs whenever I visit. Click that link super fast, then come back and compare our answers. A | Author you've read the… Continue reading A to Z Book Tag
This is the final part of my Methodist Despair playlist. Today I pull out Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and Lily Allen. I earned that "explicit" tag. Be warned. "I'm Not That Guy" from Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson When you have no one to show you what to do How do you find your way? When your country doesn't… Continue reading Methodist Despair Playlist: Part 3 (explicit)
I'm back with more sad songs. For context, I am forgoing food this morning, filling my stomach instead with boiling hot caramel tea - doctor's orders. Let that guide your reading experience. "Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime Go out and tell our story Let it echo far and wide Make them hear you Make them… Continue reading Methodist Despair Playlist: Part 2 (explicit)
After the UMC vote in February, I turned to a classic coping mechanism. That's right: I made a Spotify playlist. You can listen to it, if you want. I titled it Methodist Despair. My feelings about the vote were complex and sometimes explicit. I didn't know what else to do, so I turned to music… Continue reading Methodist Despair Playlist: Part 1 (explicit)
She may become a witch, a real witch. - John Piper WE'RE BACK, WITCHES. I've seen a lot of upcoming witchy reads on Twitter and various booklists since early 2017. Is this a reaction to Trump's election? Did this publishing explosion come from the Nasty Woman movement? Whatever the reason, I'm fascinated. I compiled a list… Continue reading Witchy Book Recs
