The last Raven Cycle tag I found was one of those "pick a character" ones. (And I hate those.) This is a whole new SCENARIOS tag found on Paper Fury! IT'S DESTINY. I love this series and these characters and a reread is LONG overdue. Which REMINDS me that Claire still has my copy of Blue… Continue reading The Raven Cycle Book Tag

In today's tag, I try to escape Jigsaw's game with a… Continue reading Jigsaw (Saw Franchise) Book Tag

That said, he excels at improvised weaponry and most forms of combat. His sass knows no bounds and he would gladly die for one of his friends, even Athos. When he's… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 6
It's time to ship some characters. I love stupid ships. When writing with friends, my go-to prompt is always, "Write the most unlikely couple you can think of." I find this exercise fascinating even if they hate doing it. Some of my favorite ships have started as a joke; the more I laugh, the more sense… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It
Let's talk about book characters, shall we. I'm going to straight up spoil all of Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle, so ye be warned. Ronan Lynch is hands down my favorite Raven boy. Here are some of the things Ronan has to worry about: His father was murdered and Ronan was the one to find the… Continue reading MAKE-YOU-CRY MONDAY: Ronan Lynch
