we're all mad here
There are very few books that I’ve actually read in one sitting, and only one of those is an actual in one sitting one. Truthfully, I’ve only read a book in a single day, not counting graphic novels, twice, and that’s The Wicker King and Bad Call. The first, I returned to repeatedly over the…

This is somehow going to be the hardest That Artsy Reader Girl topic ever. It shouldn’t be because there are so many reasons why I love reading, but that’s it right there, that’s why it’s the hardest. How do you narrow down something so monumental into ten reasons? And they’re definitely not going to be…

Instead of the final Pride post that I had planned for this month, we’re here with part two of an exciting list of new releases this year! Part one is here, and out of the 13 books that I preordered, I read 8. The post I was originally supposed to drop today was one that…

Are you sick of me talking about queer characters in fantasy yet? We’ve already discussed why homophobia in fantasy doesn’t make sense, plus chatted about some of my favorite queer fantasy MCs, and, today, we’re here to talk about why there should be more queer characters in fantasy.

We’ve already discussed my favorite couples & queer fantasy MCs, and we’re chatting why I want even more queer fantasy MCs next week, but I’ve also been dropping short stories every week (here’s one for sister witches and sycamore girls!), and I thought it’d be fun to combine the two. All of my books feature…

I had this at a solid ten, and then I was working on another TTT for this month about queer fantasy MCs and had Yadriel on that list and somehow not him & Julian on this one, and I just?? Decided to do a list of 12 instead so the cover aesthetic could stay strong.…

It’s time for another round of 5-star predictions! In August, I dropped another list of ten, and I swear, this time I’ve actually read all of them before we drop a new list. LOL NO I HAVE NOT. There’s two missing from the list, but oh well, I want to get this post published, it’s…

I love baking so much, and though my norm is bread, I get especially excited about desserts in the summer. Last summer was amazing–I made a strawberry peach galette for vacation, strawberry lemonade that was just the bomb dot com (yes, I am old), and so many amazing pies. There’s something about summer that just…

I’m always screaming about flowers, just in general, but especially on books, so I wasn’t about to pass up the opportunity of this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic to just weep over all the beauty of our natural world. Whether it’s flower crowns or a legit forest, the natural world is one of my…
