Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I haven't been able to focus on reading in two weeks. A recent bout of chronic stress has turned my brain to pink and gray soup. In that soup swim several hyperfixations that are keeping me going. Here are a few of them. Hades Hades is fantastic and everyone in it is hot. I'm not… Continue reading Cataloguing the Thoughts Swimming in My Soup Brain
Hello and welcome! It's the Sunshine Blogger Award! I was tagged by Emily at Embuhleeliest. I've seen Emily around the blogosphere and done some of her original tags (including the excellent Pixar Book Tag), but we only recently started following each other. Emily stays up-to-date on manga, sci-fi, and fantasy. Her posts are hilarious and… Continue reading Sunshine Blogger Award
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
This tag might not be spooky, but it's fall-related and I love it. LEELYNN DID IT AGAIN. SHE MADE A BOOK TAG WITH GRAPHICS THAT I REALLY LIKE. IT'S ABOUT DELICIOUS FALL DRINKS. Visit her site. Admire her graphics. Participate in the tag. Entertainment Weekly published a list of books to look out for and Three Women was the… Continue reading Spicy Pumpkin Latte Book Tag
I've been seduced by another fall-themed tag. It's this or Halloween tags. Those are the only options. I keep up with seasonal tags by following Kristin at Kristin Kraves Books. Will I actually bake cinnamon rolls and go apple-picking this fall? You read my Summer Bucket List Tag. I didn't do any of the activities on that… Continue reading The Fall Bucket List Tag

Your choice of Seattle or… Continue reading Book Recommendations Based on Your Coffee Order
I've been drinking too much hot chocolate recently, to the point that I shake for hours after my last cup. Meaghan did this tag on her blog Meghan's Whimsical Explorations & Reviews. The drinks sounded so delicious, I made another hot chocolate and started my own draft. HOT CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS AND CHOCOLATE AND WHIPPED… Continue reading Holiday Drinks Book Tag

In the past few days, I've written just over 5,000 words for my rough draft. Per the website, I should be at 10,000. Here's the deal: I. Am. Struggling. And, in true 4-on-the-enneagram fashion, I've been moping about it. Why was this so much easier when I was in college? Since when am I concerned… Continue reading NaNoWriMo Update: Day 6
I tried book tags once and I can't quit. I found this tag and loved the concept, especially since the first question is so negative. NICE. I love coffee and books and coffee-themed books and questions about books related to coffee! I may have made my afternoon tea a tad too strong... Black Coffee: A series that's… Continue reading Coffee Book Tag
