we're all mad here
I am a very predictable person. This has been well-documented, and it is absolutely not at all shocking when I start writing a new book, and my friends always ask, “So who’s the baker?” There are just always going to be some staples that thread themselves throughout all of my books. But it was starting…

I honestly can’t remember with who, but I was talking with someone about authors contextualizing their books with dates. Like, you crack open a book, and, right at the top of chapter one, it says something like autumn 2009. The other person was not a fan, which I totally understand, but it got me thinking,…

There have been a lot of books over the years that I’ve just been at an utter loss of how to review, and it’ll be really fun to tackle them in this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic! I’ve definitely tried to review all of these books, but whether or not they were coherent reviews…

I think it’s safe to say that this is going to be my favorite post I’ve ever written. Possibly also the hardest? On one hand, it’s definitely because I love talking about my own characters, and they make me stupid squeal at any given moment. But, on the other, I can’t wait for all of…

I saw this over at Lisa @ Way Too Fantasy, and the questions looked so fun that there was no way I wasn’t doing it. Unnecessarily pitting books against each other? What the heck else would I do with my Thursday? Also, I think this video is where the tag originates, but can’t confirm for…

There’s just so many. I’m going to try to limit it to my top five, which, like, don’t quote me on this later saying that these are my top five because there’s always something new that I haven’t realized that I love, or something that I’ve forgotten about. And look, three of these are basically…
