Hello everyone! Chainsaw is back to bless us with another guest post! In honor of Call Down the Hawk's release, she interviewed protagonist Ronan Lynch on his new trilogy, dreaming, and his relationship with our favorite Magician. (Spoilers for The Raven Cycle) Chainsaw the Raven: So, Kerah- Ronan Lynch: Ronan. CTR: Right, that's what I said. So,… Continue reading GUEST POST: Interview with Ronan Lynch
I did a Halloween Book Tag last year. THIS year, in honor of the holiday, I'm doing this brand new one that I found on Lori's Bookshelf Reads. Happy Halloween! #1 FAVORITE SCARY MUST-READ FOR HALLOWEEN? Why do I even try to pick diverse books? I read the same book every October and you KNOW… Continue reading Halloween Book Tag 2019
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. Could it be that the first book in RONAN LYNCH'S VERY OWN SPIN-OFF TRILOGY ARRIVES NOVEMBER 5TH????? HOW did I forget???? (Chainsaw asked me to mention… Continue reading Call Down the Hawk: 9 more days
I joked about doing a Lana Del Rey recommendations tag. Insteaaaaad... ...I FOUND A HALSEY BOOK TAG! I've had a crush on Halsey since she dropped Badlands in 2015. She also serves as my hair inspiration (sorry, Nicholas Petricca.) Am I gushing? I'm really stoked about this tag. Castle Favorite queen DC Bombshells is already the… Continue reading Halsey Book Tag
I'm coming around to breakfast food. Did I mention I went to the Waffle Barn in Ashland? Wish I could recommend the Salted Caramel Waffle, but I was tempted by the Chocolate Chip Waffle instead. To make up for missing out on that caramel-y goodness, I'm doing the Waffles Book Tag as seen on Drizzle… Continue reading Waffles Book Tag
Welcome! You made it! I started this blog as a "portfolio" for "serious writing" (per some professional advice that would have better suited someone else.) Over the years, Narrative Paradise morphed into a book blog...of sorts. I don't write book reviews (very often) or participate in reading challenges. I DO post book tags and gush… Continue reading An introduction
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
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
