we're all mad here
At the end of the year last year, I did a post for this for the entire year, but given that I have a lot of books preordered this year, I thought it’d be fun to check out the first half of the year before we get to the second half, which is going live…

Things are finally starting to look up. I’m glad that I took a small hiatus in May because I honestly think that it helped. I was stretching myself way too thin, and about one second after I decided to take a hiatus, I started reading and writing more regularly. I just needed a little step…

The what are you reading Wednesday posts are hosted by Taking on a World of Words! We’re back! And we’re looking exactly the same as when we last spoke, of course. Well. I’m happier and in a better place than I was, but my reading is in about the same place, and I am okay with that. what…

Although it’s definitely not February anymore, and we’re well past Valentine’s Day, I’ve been spending the past month catching up on blog posts, and I just saw this tag on Words About Words.

Oh boy, this list could be eons long. One of my toxic traits–other than walking through our work bathrooms right after they’ve been cleaned very damn day–is starting TV shows and never finishing them.

This may shock you, but Halloween is not actually my favorite holiday. I am a huge fan of Christmas, but not because of the presents.

Ohhhh, I can already tell that this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic is going to be HARD. I can think of, like, one book with a number in the title? No, two! Oh my gosh, and all of you definitely know what one of them is. This is probably going to be predictable, but…

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic is one of those ones that sound fun and easy, but then you actually get down to writing the post, and it’s surprisingly difficult! I mostly just wanted to list Fall Out Boy songs, but that would be long titles and not always necessarily funny–plus, you know, not…
