we're all mad here
I can’t believe it’s already that time of the year! I was about to say that I read a lot less contemporary books this year than I normally do, but I think I read a normal amount, I just didn’t like a lot of them. In total, I read 26 contemporary books, and very few…

I recognize that I’m in the minority here when I say that I love slow books, but holy hot damn, they’re amazing. Honestly, I feel like this might be a product of my time kind of situation? Back in the early fanfiction days, when AO3 wasn’t even kind of a concept and we were all…

Since we’re somehow about to embark on four weeks of top ten reads, this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic feels really appropriate.

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…

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.…

I saw this over on The Orangutan Librarian, and since I’m also trying to avoid spring cleaning my bookshelves, I thought it’d be fun to avoid them in the same way–with this fun tag! We may end up having the same answer to one of these, too, because I got all ranty in the comments…

Because I didn’t get to go. Last year, right around this time, I was preparing to leave the US for the first time ever. In my life, I’ve only gotten on a plane a handful of times, and, up until a couple years ago, all of those times had been to FL. Whether it was…
