Jingle Bell Book Tag 2019 Edition

I did this tag last year, but IT IS CHRISTMAS and Megan tagged me in it. MY, HOW MY ANSWERS HAVE CHANGED. 1. “All I Want For Christmas Is You…” | What book do you want to see under the Christmas Tree? I would be happy with any graphic novel on my list. Bloodlust and… Continue reading Jingle Bell Book Tag 2019 Edition

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

10 Year Challenge Book Tag

People on Twitter have been doing the 10 Year Challenge, but I don't feel comfortable sharing pictures from my past. Facial recognition and whatnot. Anyway. Zezee posted an excellent tag created by Rincey Reads that DOESN'T REQUIRE PERSONAL PHOTOS. I'll take it. What was your favorite book in 2009? I'm fairly certain I read Leap Day by Wendy… Continue reading 10 Year Challenge Book Tag

Mala Santa Book Tag

Before this tag, I had never heard of Becky G. According to my research, she's a 22-year-old Latin singer/songwriter who started out doing covers on YouTube. Leelynn created this original tag + graphics using Becky G's brand-new LP. (She is the true Queen of Tags.) Music, graphics, and books? What a find! Now let me… Continue reading Mala Santa Book Tag

October Feelings + NaNo Announcement

OCTOBER HAS PASSED. I didn't watch as many horror movies as I wanted to because LIFE GOT BUSY. (I did watch the first Hellraiser, which was...not good?) My team recently switched offices, I move into my new apartment tomorrow, and - despite conversing with four different Xfinity agents - I still don't have internet! I can… Continue reading October Feelings + NaNo Announcement

The Strictly Book Tag

My parents love Baz Luhrmann's Strictly Ballroom. I refuse to watch it out of spite. However, I never turn down a tag, even one that reminds of Baz Luhrmann's continued existence. I misunderstood this tag's title. It's not strictly about books - it's about DANCE! I found this tag at A Dreamer's Library and loved how… Continue reading The Strictly Book Tag
