Taylor Swift – 2006 – 2012 (The Red Album)
You know what Taylor Swift deserves? A greatest hits album. I was inspired by the Beatles' two Greatest Hits compilation albums; the Red Album covered 1962-1966 while the Blue album covered 1967-1970. I thought Taylor deserved the same treatment. I also wanted another Swift-related project to work on. This first post covers Taylor's best songs… Continue reading Taylor Swift – 2006 – 2012 (The Red Album)

I had a minor change of heart… Continue reading Top Ten Least Favorite Books of 2020
Updated List of Comfort Reads
Ever have reading cravings? I have them all the time, especially under duress.

Top 5 Tuesday: Couples I Don’t Think Stayed Together
Today's Top 5 Tuesday is JUICY. I LOVE trashing ships. It's one of my favorite pastimes. I hate some very popular ships. I think this is due in large part to: a dearth of inspiring mainstream queer ships lower standards for male love interests I would have given an example of that second one, but… Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday: Couples I Don’t Think Stayed Together
