More Christmas tags! More Christmas tags! I haven't seen a Christmas cracker in quite a while. In the U.S. (at least in my region), people don't typically use Christmas crackers. (Also, we call them party poppers.) We save them for New Year's, if we use them at all. Dee did this tag and I liked… Continue reading Christmas Cracker Book Tag

Hit Rewind: a book… Continue reading Spotify 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.

(Chainsaw asked me to mention… Continue reading Call Down the Hawk: 9 more days
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?
