Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
IT HAPPENED. I WAS NOMINATED FOR THE LIEBSTER AWARD AGAIN. I was nominated for this round by Sofii at A Book. A Thought. If you've never read Sofii's blog, do it NOW. She writes the loveliest, emoji-filled reviews. Her takes are very honest and accurately represent a book's content, tone, and issues. This round, the… Continue reading The Liebster Award III
I joked about doing a Lana Del Rey recommendations tag. Insteaaaaad... ...I FOUND A HALSEY BOOK TAG! I've had a crush on Halsey since she dropped Badlands in 2015. She also serves as my hair inspiration (sorry, Nicholas Petricca.) Am I gushing? I'm really stoked about this tag. Castle Favorite queen DC Bombshells is already the… Continue reading Halsey Book Tag
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

Everyone, do the tag! Come on, do it! It feels really nice! I will try to avoid spoilers. I'll try VERY hard. Oh, I… Continue reading Midsommar Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
I don't know how June keeps passing so quickly. We're 17 days into Pride Month?? SERIOUSLY?? It might be the two cups of coffee talking, but there's SO MUCH TO DO. I chose to roll with the anxiety. Diana did a great Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag on her blog. I'm going to RAMP THIS… Continue reading Mid-Year Freak Out Book Tag
I thought I was the only person who measured my worth in productivity. Apparently that behavior is much more common than I thought! Sam created this book tag and I love it SO much. (Go admire her new graphics.) Talking about books is productive. Right? Right. Shush. Planning | A book that is completely… Continue reading Productivity Book Tag
I spent the summer of 2012 on the website TVTropes. Tropes got me through a stressful nanny job, my first breakup, and a panic surrounding college housing. I've been using the website ever since. As soon as I finish a new show, I pull up it's YMMV page to read alternate theories and comments. Kristin… Continue reading Tropes Book Tag
Won't lie, didn't love 2018. Maybe the year wasn't a total lost cause, because of new friends and growth experiences and improved health, but I sure hated living through it. Different things influenced my year in big ways and I want to sum them up: I quit my job I finally got out of… Continue reading Lauren’s 2018 Retrospective
DID I JUST GET TAGGED!? What an exciting event! Thanks, Jenna! (Congrats on making the Nice list.) I have residual religious anxiety that I'll overlook a past sin...and get dinged for lying. (My anxiety believes sin works this way.) I'm going to be as honest as possible...but I will cut myself a break when needed,… Continue reading Bookish Naughty or Nice Tag
You all knew it was coming. How has no one made a Fruits Basket tag yet? There's one for Lunar New Year, but that doesn't count. Not ONE BIT. For this tag, I only included zodiac members, but participation is open to all. Heads up: I will spoil some books. Spoilers everywhere. Yuki the… Continue reading Fruits Basket Book Tag
