Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
During quarantine, I resurrected my once-fervent passion for Lord of the Rings. A few months ago, I found this Tolkien-themed tag (created by BookTuber Things Lucy Reads) on Zezee with Books. I was feeling fond and nostalgic (and was procrastinating once again), so I drafted a post. These answers are slightly outdated now but I… Continue reading Tolkien Character Book Tag
I watched three seasons of Stranger Things in a week. Top-tier procrastination method, highly recommend. I then watched season 4 with a friend who has asked to be referred to as "Macavity." I am now DISTRAUGHT. I don't love every decision the creators have made. I still love this show, mainly for its characters. Macavity… Continue reading Ranking the Stranger Things Teens
May the Fourth be with you! I won't lie: this week has been difficult. For me, things in general have been difficult. I've had a lot of anxiety about school, COVID, future plans, and whatnot. I hope you are all surviving. Last month, I did schoolwork, went to a gender reveal party (I'M HAVING A… Continue reading April Wrap-Up: Springtime School Daze
I started this new habit of DNFing any book I'm not fully enjoying. Instead of spite-reading a number of one- and two-star books, I DNFed most of them. As such, there were fewer contenders for this year's Least Favorite Books list. I still found some stinkers. These were the worst books I read in 2021.… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2021
I've played close to 40 hours of Stardew Valley. (Let's call me...ambitious.) I've befriended almost all of the suitors and even married one of them. My impressions of them have changed...at least a little. Okay, in some cases, a lot. Haley Probably watches: the CW Haley has stopped making fun of me and started complaining… Continue reading Stardew Valley Vibe Check: Updated Impressions
My friend Shane started watching "Elite" and has been sending me Marco Polo messages about it. This is cause for celebration. I've been in love with "Elite" since season one and I haven't been able to share it with any of my friends until now! Season three of "Elite" just came out on Netflix. Last… Continue reading THINGS THAT BRING ME JOY: “Elite” Season Three
I COULD HAVE SWORN I'D ALREADY DONE THIS TAG. APPARENTLY NOT! Emer did this recently and she killed it, as always. I want to rag on books, too. A popular book or series that you didn’t like I know The Art of Racing in the Rain was on the bestseller list for a while, but I HATED… Continue reading Unpopular Opinions Book Tag
Based on some of the content I've posted, you might think I hate Valentine's Day. I don't. I love Valentine's Day. I DON'T love certain literary characters. If I had to send Valentines to these characters, this is what I would say. To: Reid Diggory from Serpent & Dove Roses are red, Violets are… Continue reading Anti-Valentines for Literary Figures
Certain fictional characters fill me with a powerful rage. These characters are rude to my cinnamon rolls, use offensive terminology, emotionally abuse their loved ones, or just generally get on my nerves. The following list contains characters I can never forgive. (Note: Expect spoilers for every series under the sun...but mostly Harry Potter.) (CW: discussions… Continue reading Never Darken My Doorway Again: Fictional Characters I Cannot Forgive
Here I go participating in Top Ten Tuesday at the last second. I hate to be left out. Fall is my favorite time to reread books. This fall, I want to reread some books and try some spooky new reads. (Hey, Mansfield Park.) It's. Happening. 1. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore This is my favorite book in the Graceling series. Rain,… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Fall 2019 TBR
