Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I've watched maybe ten episodes of Friends in my entire life. (Emer's going to make me watch the series as homework. I just know it.) I did the How I Met Your Mother Thing instead, which was...a mistake. We all know by now that it doesn't take much for me to do a book tag. Emer did this tag on… Continue reading The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. 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 missed out on a LOT OF GOOD BOOK TAGS before 2018. I was, uh...busy. With what, it doesn't matter. ANYWAY, I PULLED THIS DIM SUM TAG FROM THE AWKWARD BOOK BLOGGER, THAT'S HOW THINGS GO, I MISS EATING PORK, COME ON. Tea A book that started off hot but quickly turned cold A friend… Continue reading The Dim Sum Book Tag
Don't act so surprised. Both Drizzle & Hurricane Books and twenty-seven letters did this tag, which I took as a sign that I HAD TO DO A FOURTH LOVER BOOK TAG. It's fate, really. Written in the STARS, perhaps?? (Not that that matters, as Western astrology follows the Tropical Zodiac instead of constellations, but IT'S A NICE… Continue reading The Lover Book Tag: Round 4
Top Ten Tuesday has returned. It happens every week! How come I am NEVER ready?? My TBR is 18 miles long and I'm avoiding a number of books on it, including (but not limited to) the following. And I Darken by Kiersten White I bought this BEFORE reading The Chaos of Stars and I'm super hesitant… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my TBR I’m avoiding
I'm coming around to breakfast food. Did I mention I went to the Waffle Barn in Ashland? Wish I could recommend the Salted Caramel Waffle, but I was tempted by the Chocolate Chip Waffle instead. To make up for missing out on that caramel-y goodness, I'm doing the Waffles Book Tag as seen on Drizzle… Continue reading Waffles Book Tag
My mom and I headed down to Portland for May the 4th. Miraculously, EVERYTHING was on sale. I found an entire collection of bargain social science books in the Red Room. I also abandoned some of my most-anticipated reads for newer, less familiar books. Oh, and I forgot to buy The Handmaid's Tale, despite walking past… Continue reading Powell’s Haul: What did I just buy?
She may become a witch, a real witch. - John Piper WE'RE BACK, WITCHES. I've seen a lot of upcoming witchy reads on Twitter and various booklists since early 2017. Is this a reaction to Trump's election? Did this publishing explosion come from the Nasty Woman movement? Whatever the reason, I'm fascinated. I compiled a list… Continue reading Witchy Book Recs
I left Seattle on Friday with the best of intentions. You may recall my plan to finish my Bremerton library books, turn them in, and start on backlist books. I have, after all, at least a dozen partially-read books, a hefty stack of recent purchases, and an embarrassing number of unread Powell's finds. Ahem. This… Continue reading Lauren’s Poor Impulse Control: The Great January Readathon
