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
I suspect this will be a challenge. Many of the bloggers I follow posted their lists this morning (as inspired by That Artsy Reader Girl.) I can't figure out what "the last 10 years" covers. This year? Is 2009 included? I'm going to start in 2010 and do my best to pick an early favorite… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books released in the last ten years

I don't get to write… Continue reading Extended hiatus + April awards
My mom and I headed down to Portland for May the 4th. Miraculously, EVERYTHING was on sale. I found an entire collection of bargain social science books in the Red Room. I also abandoned some of my most-anticipated reads for newer, less familiar books. Oh, and I forgot to buy The Handmaid's Tale, despite walking past… Continue reading Powell’s Haul: What did I just buy?
Has it been almost 2 years since Wonder Woman came out? That's nuts! Cassidy did this tag over on The Little Book Cottage. Read her post for even more Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman: Your favorite badass female book character… Alanna of Trebond was the OG Badass Lady Knight.. Without Alanna, there would be no Kel. LOOK… Continue reading Wonder Woman Book Tag
She may become a witch, a real witch. - John Piper WE'RE BACK, WITCHES. I've seen a lot of upcoming witchy reads on Twitter and various booklists since early 2017. Is this a reaction to Trump's election? Did this publishing explosion come from the Nasty Woman movement? Whatever the reason, I'm fascinated. I compiled a list… Continue reading Witchy Book Recs
Today's Top 5 Wednesday theme is Nostalgic Ships! I am ALL OVER THAT. I used to ship these couples hard. Like...HARD. I had Rini/Gohan, TK/Kari, and Zuko/Katara on this list initially, but my final 5 only includes book couples. #1. Jonathan/Alanna from The Tortall Universe I was in a bad place in fourth grade. I… Continue reading Top 5 Nostalgic Ships
