Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
Happy Hanukkah, merry Boxing Day, blessed Yule, and joyful Kwanzaa. Would you believe I got BOOKS for Christmas yesterday? Two of them might be going in my Top Ten Books of 2019! IT'S WILD. Emer did this excellent Christmas tag that I'm using to wrap up my winter holiday. Enjoy your new books and leftover… Continue reading Bookish Christmas Book Tag
I've been in winter mode for weeks now. Sorry, fall. You've been forgotten. Diana posted this great seasonal recap tag. Now that it's almost Christmas, it's time to summarize my fall reading experience. WATCH ME. ARE YOU WATCHING? MOM. ARE YOU WATCHING? Which book can you not stop thinking about? In the Dream House is obviously… Continue reading End of Autumn Recap Tag
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
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
I've done this tag before, but Emer tagged me a second time and I DON'T WANT TO WORK ON MY DRAFT. WELCOME TO THE OMG THIS SONG BOOK TAG. I'M GOING TO POST BOTH BOOKS AND SONGS. WHAT A GREAT DAY. (A note to my dad: Some of these songs have swears) MY JAM a… Continue reading OMG This Song Book Tag: Round 2
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
Did I rashly promise to do summer book tags? Does that sound like something I would do? Okay, hear me out: My friend Staci bought me Dear Evan Hansen for my birthday and I've been putting it off until...now, I guess. It's currently sitting on a shelf next to some other summer-y books that I've been prrrrrrromising… Continue reading Dear Evan Hansen 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
Yes, I'm back. I haven't exactly figured out how to work daily on my WIP. I'm stuck in that first-draft paralysis of, "Are these characters problematic? Is my representation on point? Should I give up and start over?" It's not a fun place to be, but I think it will pass. I'm trying not to… Continue reading Spyro Book Tag
Alabama passed a law on Monday that effectively bans abortion as early as 6 weeks into a pregnancy. Yesterday, the governor of Alabama signed the bill into law. This morning, I saw the news: Missouri passed a similar bill right after the governor's decision. In both states, no exceptions exist for rape or incest. 28… Continue reading US Abortion Bans
