Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Welp. Leelynn did another great autumn-y tag. And she technically tagged everyone. So, uh...I'm doing it. And using her graphics. Again. Anyway, FALL, am I RIGHT? Dear Emma was such a lovely read. It reminded me of the best parts of college. This book is fairly low-stakes and perfect for fall. Look. The Immortalists uses autumn… Continue reading The Autumn 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
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)
I'M BACK with a THIRD Lover-inspired book tag (and fourth general Lover-related post.) Will there ever be an end to these? PROBABLY NOT. I really enjoy this album! Sarah the Bibliophagist made this tag and Lori @ Lori's Bookshelf Reads did it on her own blog. Get ready to press play! And...begin. I FORGOT THAT YOU EXISTED:… Continue reading The Lover Book Tag: Round 3
Summer is winding down and I'm thirsty all the time. Care for a drink? Rules: Link back to Narrative Paradise so I can read your answers. Tag friends, Romans, countrypeople, etc. Tell me your favorite drink of the options presented. Stay hydrated. Water with lemon A boring book with one interesting element I wouldn't call The… Continue reading Summer Drink Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
THIS IS THE TOP TEN TUESDAY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. There's a meme going around Twitter where readers who claim to hate cliches cry over their favorite archetypes and genre conventions. The grumpy one loves the sunshine one? I'm tearing up already. (RONAN'S SECOND SECRET WAS ADAM PARRISH.) For my favorite tropes, I chose a… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Tropes
A complaint regarding my relationship: I can quote the Star Wars franchise in its entirety. I commonly invoke the "I love you, I know" conversation in romantic moments. I snap, "That's not how the Force works!" or, "I'M SURE YOU ARE!" when irritated. My girlfriend lets these words waft past her as if they mean… Continue reading Star Wars Confession Post
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
Do me a favor and DON'T READ THIS. I wrote a series of letters to some of the books I read last month and someone LEAKED them! I'm so embarrassed. Uh, I mean...who says I even wrote these letters? Why are you looking at the signatures? I TOLD YOU NOT TO READ THEM! Fine. Go… Continue reading To All the Books I Read in June
My dad found a bomb recipe for vegan pancakes. They're GOOD pancakes. Very koala-tea pancakes. I've seen this tag around. Alex's take @ The Paperbook Piano is my favorite so far. Let's get down to breakfast. I'm no fan of David Levithan's. I have been very open about this. I don't really "get" his… Continue reading Pancake Book Tag
