Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I DNF (book blogger for "did not finish") books all the time. Last month, I DNFed 9 books. Just this week, I DNFed 2. I'm able to do this thanks to a high school English teacher who said, "Life is too short to read books you don't like." She was right. Why might I DNF… Continue reading Reasons to DNF
You know how I made my Quintessential Summer Book Tag Midsommar-themed, as I am apparently obsessed with that movie? I decided that wasn't enough. WELCOME, FOLKS, TO THE MIDSOMMAR BOOK TAG. Everyone, do the tag! Come on, do it! It feels really nice! I will try to avoid spoilers. I'll try VERY hard. Oh, I… Continue reading Midsommar Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
Jenna. Does. The. Best. Tags. I hadn't seen the thank u, next tag before Jenna did it. I love a good music/book/pop culture mash-up. Approve. A quick warning: these prompts turned into mini-essays that trended serious. But hey: the song is about break-ups and exes who've died. Some solemnity isn't unprecedented. Ahem. Thank you, next.… Continue reading thank u, next Book Tag
Due to my personal political frustrations, I sometimes fantasize about setting the current political system on fire. Luckily, I won't have to; the Democratic party is doing that for me. With more than 20 candidates in a party that can't agree on its priorities, I don't have much hope for the 2020 election. How do… Continue reading 2019 Democratic Debate Book Tag
Do me a favor and DON'T READ THIS. I wrote a series of letters to some of the books I read last month and someone LEAKED them! I'm so embarrassed. Uh, I mean...who says I even wrote these letters? Why are you looking at the signatures? I TOLD YOU NOT TO READ THEM! Fine. Go… Continue reading To All the Books I Read in June
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
This brunch train CANNOT BE STOPPED. In honor of Bacon, Eggs, & Kegs, I created an Omelette Book Tag. Here you'll find all (well, most) of your favorite omelette fillings, plus some oddballs thrown in for added variety. Cream cheese A weird story element that worked better than you expected Never thought sentient bread… Continue reading Omelette Book Tag
HA! I'm drafting this bish on a Monday NIGHT! NOW who's caught unawares, Top Ten Tuesday!? I didn't think I WAS excited about the latter half of 2019 until I reviewed its upcoming releases. It feels wrong to anticipate new books when I'm watching the pile of unread books on my floor grow by the… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019
Other than zumba, yoga is the only type of exercise I can stand. I love the opportunity to tune into my body and center myself. Also, added bonus: I get to wear cute outfits. Praise be. Though I saw a yoga tag on BookTube, I haven't seen many yoga pose book tags on the blogs.… Continue reading Yoga Book Tag
She's a baaaaandwagon, make you work hard, make you spend hard, make you want all of her love. Good ol' Top Ten Tuesdays catching me unawares like they do every week! This is a good one. It's like confession for readers. Forgive me, Jane Austen, for I bear some very unpopular opinions. I hate The… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions
