Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I'm back with another playlist (my first playlist can be found here.) To refresh: I put my Spotify on shuffle and associated a book, character, or ship with each song. Behold the results. "Femininity" by Laura Osnes Lara Jean from To All the Boys I Loved Before Femininity, femininity I wish I'd never heard of… Continue reading Musical Shuffle Book Tag: Round 2

The rest of the table pauses. I munch on a corner of garlic bread. "How can we have UNITY in the church," the… Continue reading Solving Spiritual Debates

Dear The Book Nut: Thanks for all the tags. I'm being serious. Y'all are great. Let's. Jump. In. (Spoilers ahead) We Are Never Ever Getting… Continue reading Taylor Swift Book Tag
