Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Psst...I've never read this series. And I don't plan to remedy that. Whoops. Xandra freshened up her Folk of the Air Book Tag to include references to The Queen of Nothing. I'm using Xandra's banners and what not. I may even tag people! Who knows? Jude: A character who could kill you in your sleep.… Continue reading The Folk of the Air Book Tag #2

More Christmas tags! More Christmas tags! I haven't seen a Christmas cracker in quite a while. In the U.S. (at least in my region), people don't typically use Christmas crackers. (Also, we call them party poppers.) We save them for New Year's, if we use them at all. Dee did this tag and I liked… Continue reading Christmas Cracker Book Tag
How far will I go to avoid working on my WIP? Well, Cori McCarthy tweeted a fan-created video book tag inspired by their book. As you might recall, McCarthy and their fiancee Amy Rose Capetta wrote a genderbent Arthurian space book that none of you liked but I enjoyed. I had to do the tag, obviously,… Continue reading Knights of the Round Tag
Oh, Spotify. Without you, how could I write fiction? My characters would be flat humanoids lacking personal anthems. I found this great tag on Fantastic Books and Where to Find Them (great blog name!) Can you tell that I'm still procrastinating? Listen, NaNoWriMo is kicking my butt. Let me have this. Hit Rewind: a book… Continue reading Spotify Book Tag
Halloween is in 5 days. NaNoWriMo starts in 6 days. I move in 7 days. In all the excitement, I completely forgot WHY I was rereading The Raven Cycle. Could it be that the first book in RONAN LYNCH'S VERY OWN SPIN-OFF TRILOGY ARRIVES NOVEMBER 5TH????? HOW did I forget???? (Chainsaw asked me to mention… Continue reading Call Down the Hawk: 9 more days
I miss school. I'm a social baby who loves to learn. I'm flashing back to my senior high of school, which suuuucked. The start of school, though, was ALMOST ALWAYS great. My outfits K I L L E D I T. To celebrate the start of school again, I'm doing the Back-to-school Back Tag as… Continue reading Back-to-school Book Tag
Confession: I was a brony. Or...whatever the female equivalent is. In high school and college, many of my guy friends loved My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Once I started watching the show, I got their obsession. The show (at least the early seasons) prioritizes positivity, diversity, and inclusion. It offered a place for boys and… Continue reading My Little Pony Book Tag
May is over. I worked a bunch and survived the May Day protests. Lots of OTHER things happened, only some of them cheese-related. General updates: My partner came home early! Hooray! (She left at the beginning of April and had planned to return in mid-July. I am much happier with the new plan.) I shaved… Continue reading May Highs and Lows
Ultimate? Harry Potter? My recent complaints have made me nostalgic for the series. I guess WRITING AN ENTIRE SCREENPLAY ABOUT REMUS LUPIN WILL DO THAT TO YOU. And this tag (created by Isabeau's Literary Musings, discovered at Under the Book Cover) had rapid-fire questions that are easy to answer. Let's go! ROUND ONE: OPINIONS… Continue reading The Ultimate Harry Potter Book Tag
