I was inspired to do it by Theresa at areadingelf (creator of the Sapphic Book Tag) and by Halsey herself, who has been advocating for Black… Continue reading Manic Book Tag
It's the 23nd of Pride Month. I'm doing this tag today in celebration. Theresa, this tag's creator, used well-known mainstream sapphic books for each of the prompts.

Go read some of… Continue reading The High School Musical Book Tag

The Academy Awards for film just happened and I! LOVE! A BANDWAGON! I did this tag last year, but I wanted to honor the books of 2019 in a formal way.
