Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I feel weird telling authors what they SHOULD have done. I know I do it all the time. I do book tags almost daily. And I like this tag. A lot. That makes me a book expert. Surely I know what published authors should have done with their works better than they do. 1. Totally should’ve gotten a… Continue reading The Totally Should Have 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
I keep about a dozen franchises locked away in my brain with one or two favorite characters from each. Because of this, I have the hardest time picking characters for challenges like R.I.P. It or Ship It, especially when I'm limited to BOOKS. Which is NONSENSE. Instead of choosing 30 characters, I only used characters… Continue reading The Triumphant Return of R.I.P. It or Ship It
All the commentary I've read on this tag refers to Swift's 2014 switch from country to pop. If only you knew, 2014. By the by, I loved 1989. Solid, solid album. Dear The Book Nut: Thanks for all the tags. I'm being serious. Y'all are great. Let's. Jump. In. (Spoilers ahead) We Are Never Ever Getting… Continue reading Taylor Swift Book Tag
As a rule, I don't believe in Relationship Goals. No couple inspires me enough that I want a relationship like theirs. With most ships, the details of their union leave me thinking, "That would never work for me." That isn't, however, true of all my favorite ships. Scanning my bookshelf, I found a couple I… Continue reading 10 Day Book Blog Post Challenge #9: Write about a favorite ship
Okay..."favorite" is a stretch...but I sure did love The Mortal Instruments in high school. I foolishly read Clockwork Angel first. Not only was I pretty confused, I...hated it? Like, all of it: the setting, the language, the characters... I (very reluctantly) picked up City of Bones and felt immediate relief. In it, an art student spending her 16th birthday at… Continue reading 10 Day Book Blog Post Challenge #5: Write about a film/TV adaptation of your favorite book
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
For round 12, I picked Mia Thermopolis from The Princess Diaries and Princess Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender Background Mia started as an awkward nobody with bad hair until her father revealed their royal lineage. Now she's an awkward somebody with slightly better hair and control over a small European principality. Azula, the Fire Lord's… Continue reading R.I.P. It or Ship It: Round 12
