These are my top ten comfort reads. I wouldn't call any of them "lighthearted." (Well...maybe One Last Stop.) Would You Rather?… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Comfort Reads

Bookish Scenarios Book Tag

I did this tag in 2018. I saw Kristin do it on her blog recently and wanted to see how my answers had changed. Years later, I can't stop talking about The Princess Diaries. You have to get rid of all your books and you can only keep ONE from each of these genres: Contemporary,… Continue reading Bookish Scenarios Book Tag

Pro-Wrestling Book Tag

I've had this book tag that I found on Zezee's blog languishing in my drafts for months. The tag was created over at BiblioNyan, an excellent blog that discusses a little bit of everything. I thought my answers would be outdated seven months later but most of them hold up! (I did change my answer… Continue reading Pro-Wrestling Book Tag

August Wrap-Up: Cooler weather at last!

Dare I say I had a good August? It started raining toward the end of the month. I'm wearing sweats and long sleeves again. I might even break out the beanies.

Hey, do you all remember that YA fantasy novel about trans brujxs and gay ghosts that came out in September and took the world by storm? There's a book tag based on it!

Updated List of Comfort Reads

Ever have reading cravings? I have them all the time, especially under duress. Last month, I felt like picking up certain books and holding them to my chest like papery teddy bears (or, in my case, miniature plague doctors.) Some of the books I craved surprised me. They weren't my usual go-tos and most of… Continue reading Updated List of Comfort Reads

The End of the Year Book Tag 2020

I did this tag last year and liked that it held me [relatively] accountable. (I also didn't accomplish any of the things I promised to in that post, but you know what? Intentions are half the battle.) I also copied this tag from Elli @ AceReader last year and I'm DOING IT AGAIN. It's tradition… Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag 2020
