Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I had vague plans about coming home after the holidays with armfuls of books. I may have fulfilled this prophecy all on my own. All that to say...I acquired some books. The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North by Philip Pullman My mom and I went used-book shopping and found a TREASURE… Continue reading I Did a Book Haul…
I did this tag last year, but IT IS CHRISTMAS and Megan tagged me in it. MY, HOW MY ANSWERS HAVE CHANGED. 1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You…” | What book do you want to see under the Christmas Tree? I would be happy with any graphic novel on my list. Bloodlust and… Continue reading Jingle Bell Book Tag 2019 Edition
I did a bunch of Christmas tags last year, so I keep thinking I've already done all these OTHER Christmas tags. Alex @ Whimsy Pages did a fun Christmas tag that I HAVEN'T done yet. WOOHOO! What Is Your Favorite Christmas Scene In A Book? I've been talking about The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe a… Continue reading The Christmas Book Blogger Tag
I pretended to like Ghibli movies for years and years to make friends and influence people. I feel secure enough now to admit that the only Ghibli movie I really like is Howl's Moving Castle. And yet I'm STILL doing this tag that I found on the incomparable Zezee With Books. There are rules, of course.… Continue reading Ghibli Heroines Tag

I've watched maybe ten episodes of Friends in my entire life. (Emer's going to make me watch the series as homework. I just know it.) I did the How I Met Your Mother Thing instead, which was...a mistake. We all know by now that it doesn't take much for me to do a book tag. Emer did this tag on… Continue reading The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Book Tag
Oh, Spotify. Without you, how could I write fiction? My characters would be flat humanoids lacking personal anthems. I found this great tag on Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them (great blog name!) Can you tell that I'm still procrastinating? Listen, NaNoWriMo is kicking my butt. Let me have this. Hit Rewind: a book… Continue reading Spotify Book Tag
Would you believe I thought this tag referred to the nursery rhyme? Oh...no one's surprised. That's fair. Lil Peep was a rapper who died in 2017. This tag uses his songs as prompts. That's all I really know. Halei did this tag on her great blog Degenerate Reads with the intent of spread it around… Continue reading Lil Peep Book Tag
In my Perfect Romance Novel post, I mentioned that I love bisexual bois but rarely see them in fiction. I'd completely forgotten about The Raven Cycle's Adam Parrish. (Turn back now if you don't want to be spoiled.) (CW: abuse) In The Raven Boys, Adam develops a crush on Blue. They "date" for a while, but… Continue reading Adam Parrish Appreciation Post: Our Bi King
