This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Halloween freebie. So... ...I decided to make my favorite spOoOoOoOoky fictional characters fight in a tournament.

Vampire Carmilla (Carmilla) Seductive.… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Who Would Win in a Fight (Halloween edition)
Hello, I am a millennial and I love memes. Fellow Scorpio Halei @ Degenerate Reads tagged anyone who likes memes. Thanks to my team at work, I have become semi-fluent in memeology.

These are my… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Book Couples

The drinks sounded so delicious, I made another hot chocolate and started my own draft. HOT CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOWS AND CHOCOLATE AND WHIPPED… Continue reading Holiday Drinks Book Tag

Did y'all know this was a book? I wouldn't have put "Christmas" and "Tolkien" in the same sentence. I'm a little salty about Tolkien's unofficial sainthood,… Continue reading Merry Christmas Book Tag
Christmas stuff showed up at Bartell's the day after Thanksgiving. I'm almost done shopping. I have a few relatives left. I'm struggling to manifest gifts I've been imagining for months.
