Books, Taylor Swift, and other hyperfixations
So FUN STORY. I thought this was Top Ten Tuesday LAST week. When I saw everyone posting their holiday TBRs instead, I reformatted my entire post and did Top Five Tuesday. GOOD ONE, LAUREN. MY BRAIN IS SOUP. You Are Your Own: A Reckoning with the Religious Trauma of Evangelical Christianity by Jamie Lee Finch I… Continue reading TOP TEN TUESDAY: Books I Hope to Find Under My Tree
Planning my Christmas + birthday book wishlist on this lovely Top Five Tuesday. I keep changing my mind. One day, all I want are witch mysteries; the next, graphic novels. That Holiday Book Shopping Guide really did me in. NO REGRETS. Bloodlust & Bonnets by Emily McGovern Lord Byron is apparently in this and he is… Continue reading TOP 5 TUESDAY: Dear Santa, I would like these 5 books.
Psst...I've never read this series. And I don't plan to remedy that. Whoops. Xandra freshened up her Folk of the Air Book Tag to include references to The Queen of Nothing. I'm using Xandra's banners and what not. I may even tag people! Who knows? Jude: A character who could kill you in your sleep.… Continue reading The Folk of the Air Book Tag #2

People on Twitter have been doing the 10 Year Challenge, but I don't feel comfortable sharing pictures from my past. Facial recognition and whatnot. Anyway. Zezee posted an excellent tag created by Rincey Reads that DOESN'T REQUIRE PERSONAL PHOTOS. I'll take it. What was your favorite book in 2009? I'm fairly certain I read Leap Day by Wendy… Continue reading 10 Year Challenge Book Tag
It's Advent and Christmas is on the way. Everyone on Theological Twitter is arguing about colors. ('tis the season, I guess.) My church celebrated the Hanging of the Greens. I've purchased most of the gifts I need for people on my list. (I have two relatives and a Secret Santa to go.) To get hype for Christmas,… Continue reading Festive Christmas Book Tag
I've watched maybe ten episodes of Friends in my entire life. (Emer's going to make me watch the series as homework. I just know it.) I did the How I Met Your Mother Thing instead, which was...a mistake. We all know by now that it doesn't take much for me to do a book tag. Emer did this tag on… Continue reading The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Book Tag
I'm resurrecting an old book tag back from the days when people had fond feelings about Pixar. Emily and Shivii co-created this tag and Zezee's answers helped me come up with my own. Toy Story A book where you wanted the characters to come to life The Castle in the Attic was one of my favorite… Continue reading Pixar Book Tag
Today's Top 5 Tuesday is JUICY. I LOVE trashing ships. It's one of my favorite pastimes. I hate some very popular ships. I think this is due in large part to: a dearth of inspiring mainstream queer ships lower standards for male love interests I would have given an example of that second one, but… Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday: Couples I Don’t Think Stayed Together
How far will I go to avoid working on my WIP? Well, Cori McCarthy tweeted a fan-created video book tag inspired by their book. As you might recall, McCarthy and their fiancee Amy Rose Capetta wrote a genderbent Arthurian space book that none of you liked but I enjoyed. I had to do the tag, obviously,… Continue reading Knights of the Round Tag
