Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I'd never heard of Sangu Mandanna's Celestial trilogy until Sahi posted about it. She seems to love it, though, and I trust her opinion. *after a quick Google* Hm...I may need this trilogy in my life. Welcome to the Tag of Rage and Sorrow, as created by Krisha @ Bookathon, inspired by The Celestial Trilogy, and… Continue reading The Tag of Rage and Sorrow
Some unexpected news set the tone for my September. That, along with starting a new work schedule, turned me into a zombie. To cope, I spent much of the month hanging out with friends and watching horror movies. I checked my stats this morning and... ...I only read 9 books last month. Whaaat. So, uh...I'm… Continue reading September Slump (or Comeback of the Year)
You know how much I love to rag on books. Kristin and Jenna did a Wasted Potential Book Tag that made my heart sing. I started thinking of books that I thought could have been better. Once I started, I couldn't stop. One. A book that tried but failed to tackle an issue I didn't… Continue reading The Wasted Potential Book Tag
I have been looking forward to Carry On's sequel Wayward Son for almost a year. I preordered the book in February, desperate to ensure that I got my copy ASAP. I followed every single update for moooooonths leading up to the release. My copy arrived yesterday afternoon. I drew a bath, lit my Scorpio candle, and vowed to… Continue reading BOOK BETRAYAL: I DNFed Wayward Son…and I am not okay
Due to my personal political frustrations, I sometimes fantasize about setting the current political system on fire. Luckily, I won't have to; the Democratic party is doing that for me. With more than 20 candidates in a party that can't agree on its priorities, I don't have much hope for the 2020 election. How do… Continue reading 2019 Democratic Debate Book Tag
May is over. I worked a bunch and survived the May Day protests. Lots of OTHER things happened, only some of them cheese-related. General updates: My partner came home early! Hooray! (She left at the beginning of April and had planned to return in mid-July. I am much happier with the new plan.) I shaved… Continue reading May Highs and Lows
As April approaches, I want to recognize some of the books I purged earlier this month. I'd estimate that between this Purge and the last one, I got rid of at least 100 books. My collection feels much more manageable now. I also made an Unread Books spreadsheet and a Rereads spreadsheet to help me… Continue reading Victims of the Lenten Book Purge
This month, I read books hyped books from my TBR. I expected to be blown away by every book I read. For the most part, I was. I loved almost all of the books I read this month. In fact, I positively reviewed 75% of the books I read. THAT'S AN IMPRESSIVE PERCENTAGE. In that… Continue reading Top 5 Most Disappointing January Reads
I haven't escaped the Christmas tags. Ha. I'm kidding. Why would I WANT to escape them? I thought doing the Grinch book tag would make a great start to 2019. Happy new year! Remember that it's winter! Always winter, never Christmas. THINK OF THAT. HALF OF THE LIGHTS ON THE CHRISTMAS TREE ARE BURNT… Continue reading The Grinch Book Tag
I feel weird telling authors what they SHOULD have done. I know I do it all the time. I do book tags almost daily. And I like this tag. A lot. That makes me a book expert. Surely I know what published authors should have done with their works better than they do. 1. Totally should’ve gotten a… Continue reading The Totally Should Have Book Tag
