Redoing the Lover Book Tag for mental health
The news has been freaking me out, so I am rereading books and redoing book tags. Elli @ Ace Reader reminded me that the Lover Book Tag exists, so here we are. Also, Nish and Ngoc's original tag was so excellent, it seemed necessary to do it a second time. Let's do it. I Forgot… Continue reading Redoing the Lover Book Tag for mental health
TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books Too Good to Review Properly
I have a notoriously difficult time reviewing books. Today's Top Ten Tuesday asks me to list books that are SO good, they leave me speechless. Here are some books that I really enjoyed and also can't review. When I try to write about them, I blubber incoherently about my feelings. Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books Too Good to Review Properly
The Not-So-Perfect Book Tag: Round Two
Yes, I've already done this tag. However, it's one of my favorite book tags of all time. Nish and Ngoc of Nish & Ngoc's Book Nook tagged me in this two whole years ago.

Red (Taylor’s Version) Book Tag

TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books I Would Gift My Nemesis
Today's Top Ten Tuesday was a freebie. This is what I came up with. While I have no reason to gift books to my real-life nemesis (looking at you, Derek*), I still entertain passive-aggressive fantasies about giving them books that would cause them undue amounts of pain. Here's my current list. The Goldfinch by Donna… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books I Would Gift My Nemesis
TOP TEN TUESDAY: Bookish Pet Peeves
Looove doing last minute Top Ten Tuesday posts. (No, honestly, I love doing this.) (Can you tell I'm a pantser?) Today's topic is bookish pet peeves! I thought I wouldn't have much to say today. I WAS WRONG. Price stickers on books Price stickers infuriate me. When my friends lend me books, I have to… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Bookish Pet Peeves
