we're all mad here
Welcome back for another week of tropes! Meeghan Reads is hosting this week’s top ten topic, and it’s all about tropes this month, though this week is specifically ones that I don’t like, and I feel like these are all going to be expected? I’m pretty loud about what I don’t like in books, and…

I was originally supposed to talk about my California trip for today’s post, but ya girl is a little too psycho sometimes because I really thought that I could draft a coherent post on a red-eye flight, three hours of sleep, and a time zone change. And because that definitely is not happening, I found…

Disclaimer: I’m mostly talking about YA here. I can probably count on one hand how many adult fantasies I’ve read in the last decade, although none of those few had men for their MCs, either. I truly don’t think that if I had to put together a top ten fantasy books that feature men MCs,…

Oh boy, I’m about to remember that I think vice & virtues are stupid, and that the fact that chastity is a virtue makes me want to set a lot of things on fire. Y’all, do whatever the hell you want with your life. It’s your life. Vices & virtues are dumb. Life your life…

FAERIES ARE EVIL. That’s just the plain and simple truth. I’m starting to see a trend here in that we could really just quit while we’re ahead because that’s it, that’s the blog post. Faeries are murderous, conniving little backstabbers. I really don’t know what to tell you guys. We grew up with Tinkerbell, and…
