we're all mad here
It’s here, it’s here, it’s here! Halloween is great, but CHRISTMAS! There is nothing more in the world that I love than Christmas. I have a lot of days off to just snuggle up with my entire family and my cats, to read lots of books, drink lots of tea, and hope for snow to…

Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: I got very heated about Túrin & Beleg, to the point where I had to split this damn novel up. Okay, look, I tried. I really intended to keep all of The Unfinished Tales in its own little post, but Tolkien had to go and do me dirty with…

Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: I fell in love with Morgoth again even though none of the Great Tales are about him. This one doesn’t need to be split into sections as the previous two were, but Christopher did, and I feel like his reasoning makes sense since he separated them by the different…

I’m all about a good Netflix night even though it’s very rare for me to find time for them, but I saw this fun tag over at Words About Words. It was originally created by A Darker Shade of Whitney on YouTube, and I had such a blast coming up with answers for this! Recently…

I felt like the boys were a little left out last month when I was screaming about my favorite female characters, so here we are again! I just embarked on a reread of The Raven Boys the week before CDTH came out, so uh, yeah, this list is Gansey’s fault, actually. As before, this is…

Earlier in the month, I decided to do away with chronological TBRs altogether. I had about 15 books left that I wanted to read before the new year, all purchased in 2018, but I was finding that I just either wasn’t reading or I was reading so slowly, absolutely dragging my feet, because I wasn’t…

Previously on An Adventure in Tolkien: I was absolutely enamored with The Silmarillion. This segment is going to be broken into three different parts, much like with The Silmarillion. This time, however, it’s because I’m reading three books. I’ll be tackling the Great Tales of the Elder Days, which includes The Children of Húrin, Beren…

Alright, here’s the deal. Karou from Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy is forever just sitting inside of my heart, longing for me to shout about her (KAROUUUUUUUU) like the good old days (what, earlier this year?), and I miss her fiercely. I’ve never quite loved a character like I loved Karou, and…

September Wrap-Up, Part 1 Well, the second half of this month has been a lot more productive than the first half, and I’m super grateful for that. Also, I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but I’ve definitely been pretty quiet on here lately, and well, that’s about to change. Buckle up, kids. Mini Book Reviews…

I saw this tag over at A Little Haze Book Blog, and the questions were so fun, I just had to give it a whirl, and if my sleuthing is correct, it was originally created by Things Eric Reads. Do you get sick while reading in the car? Yes! I get sick on anything that’s…
