Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
I'm back with another playlist (my first playlist can be found here.) To refresh: I put my Spotify on shuffle and associated a book, character, or ship with each song. Behold the results. "Femininity" by Laura Osnes Lara Jean from To All the Boys I Loved Before Femininity, femininity I wish I'd never heard of… Continue reading Musical Shuffle Book Tag: Round 2
This brunch train CANNOT BE STOPPED. In honor of Bacon, Eggs, & Kegs, I created an Omelette Book Tag. Here you'll find all (well, most) of your favorite omelette fillings, plus some oddballs thrown in for added variety. Cream cheese A weird story element that worked better than you expected Never thought sentient bread… Continue reading Omelette Book Tag
HA! I'm drafting this bish on a Monday NIGHT! NOW who's caught unawares, Top Ten Tuesday!? I didn't think I WAS excited about the latter half of 2019 until I reviewed its upcoming releases. It feels wrong to anticipate new books when I'm watching the pile of unread books on my floor grow by the… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases of the Second Half of 2019
Other than zumba, yoga is the only type of exercise I can stand. I love the opportunity to tune into my body and center myself. Also, added bonus: I get to wear cute outfits. Praise be. Though I saw a yoga tag on BookTube, I haven't seen many yoga pose book tags on the blogs.… Continue reading Yoga Book Tag
A couple days ago, I chose protagonist Emi to represent my entire personality. I'd identified closely with Harry Potter in the past, but those days were over... ...right? Then I thought of ANOTHER perfect character. And another. And another. I am a complex cocktail of neuroses and traits. One character is simply not enough. If… Continue reading How to Make a Lauren: A Personality Recipe
May is over. I worked a bunch and survived the May Day protests. Lots of OTHER things happened, only some of them cheese-related. General updates: My partner came home early! Hooray! (She left at the beginning of April and had planned to return in mid-July. I am much happier with the new plan.) I shaved… Continue reading May Highs and Lows
My very favorite thing happened: I went on a book tag search and I found a GREAT one on Starry Sky Books. Xandra the Griffinclaw writes about her similarity to Harry Potter. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A CONCEPT I CAN SUPPORT. Anyway. For this fun tag, thank Xandra and for sure read her posts. If your… Continue reading Who Am I? Book Tag
Happy Pride Month!! I waited a full year to do this tag after seeing it on May's blog. I'd hoped to have read thousands more LGBTQIA+ books by now. Oh well. I have plenty waiting in the wings. May added black/brown to this tag last year for inclusivity. I added some additional colors this year.… Continue reading 🏳️🌈 Pride Flag Book Tag 🏳️🌈
Shana at Bionic Book Worm decided on Summer Time reads today. Cool. Will this list look suspiciously similar to my last list? Who can say? (Yes. Yes, it will.) Everything Leads to You Read during: the summer solstice School's out, your brother's gone, and you and your best friend have a rad summer job.… Continue reading Top 5 Summer Time Reads
I suspect this will be a challenge. Many of the bloggers I follow posted their lists this morning (as inspired by That Artsy Reader Girl.) I can't figure out what "the last 10 years" covers. This year? Is 2009 included? I'm going to start in 2010 and do my best to pick an early favorite… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books released in the last ten years
