Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I didn't record my DNFs this year, which helped me feel less ashamed about the practice of DNFing. Then good ol' Storygraph shared my DNF stats in my 2022 Reading Wrap-Up. I am trying to sit with that discomfort. This list includes books I DNFed last year that filled me with some sort of annoyance… Continue reading Top Ten DNFs of 2022
Welcome to the End of Year Survey, created by Perpetual Page-Turner! I'm going to include my 2022 reading stats at the beginning, then do the book-only portion of the survey. You can read last year's survey here. **2022 READING STATS** Number Of Books Read: 200 Number of Pages Read: 50,407 Number of Re-Reads: 58 Top… Continue reading End of Year Survey 2022
I’m writing this a week late on my least favorite Seattle bus. Said bus was ten minutes late and tipped me into “problematically late for work” territory. All the rattling is making it hard to type. This is a pretty accurate reflection of how my life has gone for the last month. I had a… Continue reading November Wrap-Up: Public transit as metaphor
I simply must do as many Midnights-themed book tags as I can find. Those are the rules. I found this tag at Amani's Reviews. I listened to the album while answering the prompts because obviously. LAVENDER HAZE Prompt: “Meet me at midnight!” – Lavender Haze. Find a book where there’s a secret or forbidden romance… Continue reading The Taylor Swift Midnights Book Tag
It’s the end of the year! I guess! I feel like every year for the last while has been “a weird year.” This one, though, was definitely weird. For one, I’m at a new job that doesn’t make me want to die. I’ve read fewer books so far this year compared to last year. Erotica… Continue reading The End of the Year Book Tag
During quarantine, I resurrected my once-fervent passion for Lord of the Rings. A few months ago, I found this Tolkien-themed tag (created by BookTuber Things Lucy Reads) on Zezee with Books. I was feeling fond and nostalgic (and was procrastinating once again), so I drafted a post. These answers are slightly outdated now but I… Continue reading Tolkien Character Book Tag
I made it to June, by golly. I've read 111 books thus far, 55.5% of my 200 book goal. Here are my reading highs and lows from the last six months. Best book read so far I'm on my third reread of Good Omens this year. I find it really touching. I also REALLY love… Continue reading Mid-Year Freak Out 2022
Obsessively looking for book tags DOES yield some results! I found this Star Trek book tag, created by Jay Dee Archer, on Space and Sorcery. I aspire to be like William Riker. I refuse to elaborate. STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES – A CORNY YET ENTERTAINING BOOK I loved Bright Gay Seas. It was a… Continue reading Star Trek Book Tag
Today's Top Ten Tuesday involved minimal writing! It was still harder than I expected! These are the last ten books I read (not including rereads) and a one-word review for each. Let's go. The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri One-word review: Plant-based The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Tale of a Donner Party Bride by… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read
I packed several dozen books for housesitting. Guess how many of them I read? I had such ambitions! Zezee did this TBR-themed book tag on her blog and I guess I feel like shaming myself. At the very least, because I drafted this post so long ago, I've since read some of these books! Huzzah!… Continue reading Not Enough Time TBR Book Tag
