Star Wars Confession Post

A complaint regarding my  relationship: I can quote the Star Wars franchise in its entirety. I commonly invoke the "I love you, I know" conversation in romantic moments. I snap, "That's not how the Force works!" or, "I'M SURE YOU ARE!" when irritated. My girlfriend lets these words waft past her as if they mean… Continue reading Star Wars Confession Post

Pancake Book Tag

My dad found a bomb recipe for vegan pancakes. They're GOOD pancakes. Very koala-tea pancakes. I've seen this tag around. Alex's take @ The Paperbook Piano is my favorite so far. Let's get down to breakfast.   I'm no fan of David Levithan's. I have been very open about this. I don't really "get" his… Continue reading Pancake Book Tag

How to Ship the Sailor Senshi

In 2012, I came across a drawing of the Sailor Senshi with their season 1 nemeses the Shittenou. I didn't think much of it. I considered it author art. If I were a mangaka, I would draw speculative crack ships ALL the TIME. Then, through rumor and conjecture, I learned this drawing referenced a scrapped… Continue reading How to Ship the Sailor Senshi

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Book Couples

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

’80s Movie Book Tag

Unpopular opinion: I hate '80s movies! Yes, I'm sure. Yes, even your favorite film. Yes, especially The Return of the Jedi. Kristin at Kristin Kraves Books did this tag  (complete with graphics) a couple days ago. I've been perfecting my answers ever since.    A book that kept you up all night I stayed up till midnight… Continue reading ’80s Movie Book Tag

Top 5 Nostalgic Ships

Today's Top 5 Wednesday theme is Nostalgic Ships! I am ALL OVER THAT. I used to ship these couples hard. Like...HARD. I had Rini/Gohan, TK/Kari, and Zuko/Katara on this list initially, but my final 5 only includes book couples. #1. Jonathan/Alanna from The Tortall Universe I was in a bad place in fourth grade. I… Continue reading Top 5 Nostalgic Ships

Tropes Book Tag

I spent the summer of 2012 on the website TVTropes. Tropes got me through a stressful nanny job, my first breakup, and a panic surrounding college housing. I've been using the website ever since. As soon as I finish a new show, I pull up it's YMMV page to read alternate theories and comments. Kristin… Continue reading Tropes Book Tag

Top 10 Favorite Ships

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

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 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
