I mentioned acquiring some serious, award-winning books that I couldn't wait to read. I also mentioned some long-unread books on my TBR and some current rereads. Well. I visited my hometown library. Both the Seattle Central Library and the branch I frequent have a decent YA section stocked with new releases. Walking into the Teen… Continue reading The Great December Readathon

Jingle Bell Book Tag
My favorite writing soundtrack is my dog's snoring. (I still call her "my dog" even though she lives with my parents.) I have a couple free hours before we leave for Family Christmas (it's a big deal. My dad is making cream cheese crackers.) I have a few more days to complete as many Christmas… Continue reading Jingle Bell Book Tag
The Christmas Stocking Book Tag
I had to make use of the eggs and butter in my fridge, so tonight I'm baking for the first time all season. And, to honor the holy rite of seasonal baking, I'm doing the Christmas stocking tag. (I stole this idea from Mel's 12 Days of Blogmas. Read her post and check out her queer… Continue reading The Christmas Stocking Book Tag
Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK! YES! IT'S SO NICE TO USE A KEYBOARD AGAIN. I may need to fiddle around with this stupid thing for a couple of days, but I can start writing in the mornings again! Back to book tags! I've been listening to Panic! at the Disco's new album for motivation, hence… Continue reading Panic! at the Disco Book Tag
The Grishaverse Book Tag
I decided I need to reread Six of Crows and finish the duology. (I just bought the Six of Crows paperback and my first Victoria Schwab. Should be an interesting fall.) In honor of the Grishaverse, I'm doing this Bardugo-inspired tag I found at Rattle the Stars. Kaz Brekker A book you shouldn't judge by its cover… Continue reading The Grishaverse Book Tag
Birthday Book Tag
My birthday isn't until January. I've already begun planning. I want a Fudgey the Whale cake. And books. And gold-spotted turquoise wrapping paper, if possible. The day off would be nice. I found a great birthday tag (thanks, Coffee, Cocktails, and Books!) In honor of my unbirthday, I plan to celebrate. Birthday Cake A… Continue reading Birthday Book Tag
Fruits Basket Book Tag
You all knew it was coming. How has no one made a Fruits Basket tag yet? There's one for Lunar New Year, but that doesn't count. Not ONE BIT. For this tag, I only included zodiac members, but participation is open to all. Heads up: I will spoil some books. Spoilers everywhere. Yuki the… Continue reading Fruits Basket Book Tag
The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
I'm LOVING the weather change. The last few days have been foggy and freezing. Yesterday, I walked to improv class shivering. Today, I wore a CARDIGAN. Worth it. I nabbed this tag from The Awkward Book Blogger because it pleased me...and because I lost interest in my other fall-themed tag. Double prizes! Crunching Leaves The… Continue reading The Fall Time Cozy Book Tag
#NotAll Book Tag
Can't stop, won't stop. I'm not cool enough to use sassy hashtags on Twitter. I will GLADLY use them for books, though. Shout-outs to creator The Orangutan Librarian and to Book Hooked Nook for inspiration. #NOTALL COVER CHANGES A COVER CHANGE YOU LIKED The original cover for this classic is one of the worst… Continue reading #NotAll Book Tag
Chocolate Book Tag
Safeway was out of Take Fives when I went grocery shopping last week. I could buy some at the Bartell's not TWO BLOCKS from my office, but...writing and Jodi Picoult books and laundry... This is an older tag, but chocolate is eternal. Better yet, it's almost Halloween. Chocolate must be discussed. Dark Chocolate A book… Continue reading Chocolate Book Tag
