Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I've drafted this post before at least twice. I keep trashing my drafts. I don't know why. TBR shame? Who knows. So, inspired by Xandra, Laura, Sahi, and Amy, I'm finally doing this tag. Oh snap, here's a link to the original at Jami Shelves! A book that you feel you need to read because everyone talks… Continue reading Books I Want to Read But DON’T Want to Read Tag
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN. Today's Top Ten Tuesday features my top ten auto-buy authors. Is this a rehash of my Lady Writer Supergroup? POSSIBLY. Maggie Stiefvater OB-VI-OUS-LY. Stiefvater gave me murder horses in The Scorpio Races. She gave me Ronan Lynch in The Raven Cycle. She gave me miracles in All the Crooked Saints. I will go… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-buy authors
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
Did I rashly promise to do summer book tags? Does that sound like something I would do? Okay, hear me out: My friend Staci bought me Dear Evan Hansen for my birthday and I've been putting it off until...now, I guess. It's currently sitting on a shelf next to some other summer-y books that I've been prrrrrrromising… Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen Book Tag
HA! I'm drafting this bish on a Monday NIGHT! NOW who's caught unawares, Top Ten Tuesday!? I didn't think I WAS excited about the latter half of 2019 until I reviewed its upcoming releases. It feels wrong to anticipate new books when I'm watching the pile of unread books on my floor grow by the… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019
Other than zumba, yoga is the only type of exercise I can stand. I love the opportunity to tune into my body and center myself. Also, added bonus: I get to wear cute outfits. Praise be. Though I saw a yoga tag on BookTube, I haven't seen many yoga pose book tags on the blogs.… Continue reading Yoga Book Tag
A couple days ago, I chose protagonist Emi to represent my entire personality. I'd identified closely with Harry Potter in the past, but those days were over... ...right? Then I thought of ANOTHER perfect character. And another. And another. I am a complex cocktail of neuroses and traits. One character is simply not enough. If… Continue reading How to Make a Lauren: A Personality Recipe
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
Happy Pride Month!! I waited a full year to do this tag after seeing it on May's blog. I'd hoped to have read thousands more LGBTQIA+ books by now. Oh well. I have plenty waiting in the wings. May added black/brown to this tag last year for inclusivity. I added some additional colors this year.… Continue reading 🏳️🌈 Pride Flag Book Tag 🏳️🌈
Whenever I'm in the middle of a difficult draft, I put it off with as many book tags as I can find. So, you've been seeing a lot of books tags from me, eh? Welllll.... Let's not talk about that. I found this on Charlotte's blog - from the sounds of it, she was ALSO… Continue reading I Dare You Tag 🏷
