Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
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
Well. It's been a couple of weeks, that's for sure. I have been trying to ward off full-on panic for about a month with mixed success. As I mentioned in my last post, my brain is soup. One good thing happened last month: my niece Josie was born. She and my sister-in-law are doing great… Continue reading July Wrap-Up: Using ice on my vagus nerve 24/7
Fuck it. Times have been hard. Here's a book tag. Since finishing school, I've been playing a buttload of video games, including queer mainstay Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator. A good alternate title might be Subverting Stereotypes: The Game. I should do a Dad ranking one of these days because two of these daddies… Continue reading Dream Daddy Book Tag [ORIGINAL]
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 These answers are slightly outdated now but I… Continue reading Tolkien Character Book Tag

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
So May sucked. The Supreme Court wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. Obergefell v. Hodges and Loving v. Virginia might be next. The Buffalo and Uvalde shootings were similarly devastating. Everyone I know is sad, mad, and scared. I feel angry and helpless most of the time. (I got a tattoo about it. It helped… Continue reading May Wrap-Up: Goodbye and Good Riddance
Hello! I have a new book tag! Riddhi at Whispering Stories tagged me in this! (View the original post at Ally Writes Things.) I came up for a bunch of answers for each prompts but limited myself to one each. IT WAS A TRIAL. A book about friendship Frog and Toad are Friends is a… Continue reading The Recommendations Book Tag
My very favorite books usually make me cry my eyes out. It's a rare book that does this and also makes me laugh. The following are the funniest passages from some of my favorite books. American Gods by Neil Gaiman “Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are."The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously,… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Funny passages from favorite books
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
