OCTOBER HAS PASSED. I didn't watch as many horror movies as I wanted to because LIFE GOT BUSY. (I did watch the first Hellraiser, which was...not good?) My team recently switched offices, I move into my new apartment tomorrow, and - despite conversing with four different Xfinity agents - I still don't have internet! I can… Continue reading October Feelings + NaNo Announcement

So, uh...I'm… Continue reading September Slump (or Comeback of the Year)

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.

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
I hate when I read something from the library, love it, and have to RETURN it. Truly a terrible plight in the life of a bookworm.
