we're all mad here
I’ll be honest, I haven’t had to do this in a while because I haven’t read a big high fantasy deserving of a break in a long time, which probably means that I’ve jinxed myself into immediately reading one, although, that’s not a problem? I love a big high fantasy that totally takes the stuffing…

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.

Given that I’m fresh on the heels of an entire Grishaverse reread, this seems like the most appropriate time to discuss this! Reread is perhaps one of my favorite things in the world, and though I haven’t done a lot of it over the last few years, I’m really trying to convince myself that it’s…

I feel like I may make some people mad with this post, so I’m going to disclaimer it right away: I don’t like first person. I can get past it in contemporary, but it sometimes makes me not read a book when it’s in fantasy. This is purely subjective, and it does not reflect these…

I’ll be honest, I’m never going to leave the North Shore. My proximity to both Salem and New Hampshire makes me so happy that I’ll forever stay right here. New England is a beautiful place, and it will never relinquish its hold on my heart. Thus, though this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic is…
