HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wasn’t convinced I would survive 2022. Before I get to my reading stats for the month, I’d like to go over a few of the life changes I experienced this year. A lot happened. 2022 Highlights I Finished School I had a kind of “yeah, whatever” approach to this accomplishment, mainly… Continue reading December Wrap-Up: 2022 in review

foklore book tag
I found another folklore book tag, this one created by Star is All Booked Up. I tried to diversify my answers - not sure I succeeded! the 1 a book you grew out of The Matched series by Ally Condie was, for me, Baby's First Dystopian Sci-Fi. I loved the world, the premise, everything about… Continue reading foklore book tag
Ghibli Heroines 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
The Folk of the Air Book Tag #2
Psst...I've never read this series. And I don't plan to remedy that. Whoops. Xandra freshened up her Folk of the Air Book Tag to include references to The Queen of Nothing.

The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Book 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.

The Wasted Potential Book Tag
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
Jane Austen Character Book Tag
One thing I love about the blogosphere: the amount of creativity and number of shared interests in the community mean I don't have to make my own book tags. Case in point, Madame Writer created a Jane Austen Character book tag. And just in time - playing multiple rounds of Marrying Mr. Darcy every weekend put me… Continue reading Jane Austen Character Book Tag

Everyone, do the tag! Come on, do it! It feels really nice! I will try to avoid spoilers. I'll try VERY hard. Oh, I… Continue reading Midsommar Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
2019 Democratic Debate Book Tag
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
