I've been working on original stuff, not just tags! Yes! Exciting! I was still very relieved when Jenna tagged me in this fantasy-themed tag. I don't read as much fantasy as perhaps I once did. What DO I read? What even QUALIFIES as fantasy? Does it TRULY matter? I plan to explore NONE of these… Continue reading Quick Fire Fantasy Book Tag

Meet Chainsaw
I just got back from a nice vacation in southern Oregon. The Raven Cycle must have been on my mind, because I bypassed all the Bard-themed T-shirts and Alice in Wonderland jewelry at the gift shop for something VERY specific. Everyone, meet Chainsaw. She and I have been inseparable since Thursday afternoon. Chainsaw kindly offered… Continue reading Meet Chainsaw
The Raven Cycle Book Tag
The last Raven Cycle tag I found was one of those "pick a character" ones. (And I hate those.) This is a whole new SCENARIOS tag found on Paper Fury! IT'S DESTINY. I love this series and these characters and a reread is LONG overdue. Which REMINDS me that Claire still has my copy of Blue… Continue reading The Raven Cycle Book Tag
Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-buy authors
IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN. Today's Top Ten Tuesday features my top ten auto-buy authors. Is this a rehash of my Lady Writer Supergroup? POSSIBLY. Maggie Stiefvater OB-VI-OUS-LY. Stiefvater gave me murder horses in The Scorpio Races. She gave me Ronan Lynch in The Raven Cycle. She gave me miracles in All the Crooked Saints. I will go… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-buy authors
A Scorpio Races miracle
This is a very silly thing that I am nonetheless excited about: Last month, I custom-ordered a book necklace using The Scorpio Races, my favorite book of all time. Only I requested they use the Polish cover. Can you blame me, though? I couldn't resist buying my favorite book in my favorite color. After weeks of… Continue reading A Scorpio Races miracle
R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 6
For round 6, I picked Porthos from BBC's the Musketeers and Ronan Lynch from The Raven Cycle Background Porthos is not known for his brains. That said, he excels at improvised weaponry and most forms of combat. His sass knows no bounds and he would gladly die for one of his friends, even Athos. When he's… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 6
R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 5
For round 5, I picked Athos from BBC's The Musketeers and Adam Parrish from The Raven Cycle Background While he has clear motivations, Adam Parrish retains the most moral ambiguity of the four Raven Boys. Though he pursues power and status without ever turning villainous, he also terrifies his girlfriend, resents his best friend's wealth,… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 5
MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Ronan Lynch
Let's talk about book characters, shall we. I'm going to straight up spoil all of Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle, so ye be warned. Ronan Lynch is hands down my favorite Raven boy. Here are some of the things Ronan has to worry about: His father was murdered and Ronan was the one to find the… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Ronan Lynch
