Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I did, in fact, find another book tag on The Awkward Book Blogger. I haven't listened to a lot of Selena Gomez, though I liked her last album. I enjoyed these prompts, so here we are. The Rules: Thank the person who tagged you and leave a link to their blog.Mention the creator of the… Continue reading The Selena Gomez Book Tag
(Spoilers for Daughter of the Pirate King) I’ve waited a long time to say this: JENNA AND I ARE BACK FOR THE SEQUEL. We buddy-read Daughter of the Pirate King last December and I’ve been anticipating the follow-up ever since. We meant to read this book over the course of four weeks and ended up… Continue reading BUDDY READ: Daughter of the Siren Queen

Like Star Wars, The Lunar Chronicles utilizes familiar sci-fi archetypes, such as the ace pilot, the plucky heroine, and the damsel in distress. I love both series for exactly this reason. Originally inspired by the now-released The Rise of Skywalker, I tried to figure out which Lunar Chronicles characters matched up with my beloved Star… Continue reading Lunar Chronicles = Star Wars
I put this one off for a long time. I didn't feel I had enough books to explore the Marvel Universe. After a massive cheat, I feel more than ready. You'll see in a second. Katie over at Never Not Reading did this tag and her excellent answers convinced me to do it. Iron Man… Continue reading The Marvel Avengers Book Tag
Give me all your clichés and archetypes. Let me swallow them whole. Today's Top Ten Tuesday was a freebie, which means the bloggers I follow came up with trillions of creative ideas. There's a "favorite tropes" TTT coming up, so today I wanted to focus on characters. Specifically, character types. I know I'll love certain… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite (and least favorite) character types

Once I started watching the show, I got their obsession. The show (at least the early seasons) prioritizes positivity, diversity, and inclusion. It offered a place for boys and… Continue reading My Little Pony Book Tag
When I get bored, I seek out book tags. I mean, I have IDEAS and stuff, but they're all so SERIOUS and my chest gets tight when I watch the news. I need to have fun. Obviously, that means knitting while bingeing "What/If." In terms of book tags... ...SUSY MADE A GALAVANT BOOK TAG!!! Have… Continue reading Galavant Book Tag
I'm no Swiftie, yet here I am doing another Taylor Swift book tag. I really loved Olivia's take. She developed this excellent tag, as well as the graphics I'll be using. Bird murder!? BIRD MURDER!? I thought this would be a cute domestic comedy about lesbians!! Reading The Summer of Salt reminded me of We Need to… Continue reading Wonderstruck Book Tag
I read a book early in February so great that I predicted it would be my favorite of the month. I've highlighted some of my other favorite February reads without mentioning this one. It deserves the spotlight. Dread Nation by Justina Ireland "Jane McKeene was born two days before the dead began to walk the… Continue reading February Book-of-the-Month Club
