we're all mad here
It’s the best time of the year! This is my favorite topic for That Artsy Reader Girl because I just love screaming about all the books that are going to murder me throughout the year so damn much. I’m only including books on here that I’ve preordered that release before June since I think that’s…

Oh, this post is going to be such a call-out. Maybe not? I know that I’ve read quite a few new releases this year, so this might not be too bad, but that’s also because I’m not owning up to the fact that I still haven’t read A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir–or…

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. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting this year, and while that hasn’t really shown up the actual books I’m reading, it’s definitely steered what I’ve been drawn to. These aren’t in…

Somehow, for this week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic, there ended up being four different Sam’s and two Nathaniel’s, which just seems strange, but they’re also great names, and I’m not at all surprised that each of the Sam’s made it on here.

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…

Okay, here’s the deal. At the end of May, I talked about why I occasionally do book buying bans and how they’re actually really helpful for me. At the beginning of this year, I threw away my handwritten TBR list that was organized chronologically by when I’d bought something. It was bringing me a lot…

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 know I’ve been tag-heavy lately, but I’ve been scrounging a bit when it comes to discussion ideas, and reading Tolkien books is hard with being in the office all day (as opposed to just lounging at home for the past year), so my Wednesdays have been hard to fill lately, which just means you…
