Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
My friend Shane started watching "Elite" and has been sending me Marco Polo messages about it. This is cause for celebration. I've been in love with "Elite" since season one and I haven't been able to share it with any of my friends until now! Season three of "Elite" just came out on Netflix. Last… Continue reading THINGS THAT BRING ME JOY: “Elite” Season Three
Happy Lupercalia! I wanted to do something Valentine's-themed and this is what I came up with. This post will be a mish-mash of surprising trivia and strong opinions about various fictional romances. As should be obvious, spoilers ahead. The Infernal Devices throuple I just learned this bit of trivia from reading Jess' blog post about literary romances. Fun… Continue reading Lupercalia Special: Let’s Talk About Ships
I had an epiphany recently about my favorite type of ship. ("Ship" as in "fictional relationship," not as in "boat.") I used to say my favorite was "enemies to lovers." I knew, though, that that description wasn't quite right. Then I watched The Rise of Skywalker and realized, "Duh...I like Hero x Villain ships." What could… Continue reading Favorite Ship Dynamics
To the anonymous reader who typed "fruits basket ship or rip" into search terms to find my blog: what a GENIUS idea. Do you mind if I use it? Because I would LOVE to produce that type of quality content. Ground Rules I limited this round to characters I felt comfortable shipping (i.e., NOT THE… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Fruits Basket Edition
In honor of Valentine's Day, today's Artsy Reader Girl-sponsored Top Ten Tuesday covers SHIPPING. My last post about Top 10 Favorite Ships didn't include many book couples. You'll see some overlap in this post, but not much. For this post, I limited myself to traditional books - no manga or graphic novels this time. These are my… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Book Couples
Inspired by Sailor Moon, I set about making a list of my favorite ships and realized some surprising things: I'm not a big book shipper. Very few of my favorite couples come from novels. I don't ship as often as I used to, especially when it comes to love triangles. I can't make myself care… Continue reading Top 10 Favorite Ships
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
FINAL ROUND!! For round 15, I picked Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars and Cress Darnell from The Lunar Chronicles Background Anakin Skywalker feels very attacked right now because EVERYONE KEEPS TREATING HIM LIKE A CHILD. Thought to be the Chosen One, Anakin excels in acting rashly and crying about it later. His flirting skills need WORK.… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 15
For round 14, I picked Remus Lupin from The Harry Potter series and Henry Tilney from Northanger Abbey Background Remus Lupin taught at Hogwarts until Lucius Malfoy outed him as a werewolf. He loves chocolate, books, and acts of bravery. He also briefly abandoned his pregnant wife and I'm still not over it. Perfect party host… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 14
For round 13, I picked Kate from You Know Me Well and Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket Background Kate runs away from things. She dedicates her painting portfolio to a girl she won't speak to and ditches a lifelong friend for an understanding acquaintance. She freaks out and changes her mind over and over but rarely… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 13
