we're all mad here
This could just be blatantly calling out every duology that’s been turned into a trilogy, but I’m labeling it as a #marywrites because I have some writing-specific thoughts, y’all. However, yes, I am going to say outright that I’m thinking about Blood & Honey by Shelby Mahurin, and it is 100% the reason for why…

Did I seriously make a full reading schedule for myself this month? YOU BETCHA. I had twenty books on my Pride TBR, and to read all of them would mean five books a week, which was, frankly, stupidly unfeasible, and I don’t know what I was thinking, except that I did not expect this to…

Yes, everyone in the world is doing this tag right now, and it definitely gave me a mid-year complete panic when I was looking through others, which of course meant that I had to share that panic with you! I’ve seen a lot of people do it, but the most recent one (at the time…

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…

Okay, here’s the deal. At the end of May, I talked about why I occasionally do book buying bans and how they’re actually really helpful for me. At the beginning of this year, I threw away my handwritten TBR list that was organized chronologically by when I’d bought something. It was bringing me a lot…

I mean, there’s six thousand reasons. This post could be the longest one I’ve ever written, so I’m going to narrow it down to three things that I keep coming back to over and over: the characters, the plot, the queerness. Sense8 is truly one of my most beloved shows, and though I haven’t rewatched…

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. Thus, I’m not going to be shoving…

This is, perhaps, the thing that trips most people up. Recently, I told both of my siblings that I was bi, and I’ll get more in-depth with this next week, but the most important thing that both of them said, right away, was, “Thank you for telling me. I’m glad you felt like you could.”…

It has been ONE MILLION YEARS just under a year since I last wrote the words Thursday Thousand, and I am hella excited to be here. In February of 2019, I began a short project where I had to post a short story every week, on Thor’s Day, that had only one parameter: it had to be,…
