So listen. My initial list of favorites took a problematic turn. In a show all about girl power, my favorite characters were mostly men. That's as bad as only liking Adam from Girls. So I balanced my list out, hence 6 characters instead of 5. I'm trying to make up for being a Bad Feminist. … Continue reading Top 6 Favorite Sailor Moon Characters

Top 10 Favorite Ships
Inspired by Sailor Moon, I set about making a list of my favorite ships and realized some surprising things: I'm not a big book shipper. Very few of my favorite couples come from novels. I don't ship as often as I used to, especially when it comes to love triangles. I can't make myself care… Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Ships
Sailor Moon Book Tags
I can play it cool no longer. After reading the Eternal Edition of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, that series is all I want to talk about. You can predict whether I'll like a piece of entertainment based on its similarity to Sailor Moon. All my romantic preferences came from this series. Well, this and Fruits Basket. Naoko Takeuchi… Continue reading Sailor Moon Book Tags
Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK! YES! IT'S SO NICE TO USE A KEYBOARD AGAIN. I may need to fiddle around with this stupid thing for a couple of days, but I can start writing in the mornings again! Back to book tags! I've been listening to Panic! at the Disco's new album for motivation, hence… Continue reading Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
The Grishaverse Book Tag
I decided I need to reread Six of Crows and finish the duology. (I just bought the Six of Crows paperback and my first Victoria Schwab. Should be an interesting fall.) In honor of the Grishaverse, I'm doing this Bardugo-inspired tag I found at Rattle the Stars. Kaz Brekker A book you shouldn't judge by its cover… Continue reading The Grishaverse Book Tag
Fruits Basket Book Tag
You all knew it was coming. How has no one made a Fruits Basket tag yet? There's one for Lunar New Year, but that doesn't count. Not ONE BIT. For this tag, I only included zodiac members, but participation is open to all. Heads up: I will spoil some books. Spoilers everywhere. Yuki the… Continue reading Fruits Basket Book Tag
The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
I'm LOVING the weather change. The last few days have been foggy and freezing. Yesterday, I walked to improv class shivering. Today, I wore a CARDIGAN. Worth it. I nabbed this tag from The Awkward Book Blogger because it pleased me...and because I lost interest in my other fall-themed tag. Double prizes! Crunching Leaves The… Continue reading The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
Chocolate Book Tag
Safeway was out of Take Fives when I went grocery shopping last week. I could buy some at the Bartell's not TWO BLOCKS from my office, but...writing and Jodi Picoult books and laundry... This is an older tag, but chocolate is eternal. Better yet, it's almost Halloween. Chocolate must be discussed. Dark Chocolate A book… Continue reading Chocolate Book Tag
You’re Not Good Enough Book Tag
I had a hard time coming up with characters for this book tag. I need to read more YA. With "adult" novels, I don't tend to care about (or remember) the characters. "The THEMES are the really important thing-" No. False. Write better characters. ANYWAY. I found this tag and loved it. The gist of… Continue reading You’re Not Good Enough Book Tag
Lauren’s Go-To Reads: Old Standbys
"So," the interviewer starts, holding his iPhone near my face. "What books have most influenced your writing?" "Yes, tell us," says Adam Grant, my research hero. I haven't figured out yet why he's here. "Which authors acted as mentors in your youth?" "Interesting question, Adam." I grab the iPhone and speak directly into it "Follow-up… Continue reading Lauren’s Go-To Reads: Old Standbys
