we're all mad here
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…

As of the posting of this, I have read 165 books, 13 of which were middle grade. I know it’s not a lot, and barely constitutes writing out a top 5 list, but I’ve loved a lot of the middle grade that I’ve read this year, and none of them are being highlighted on my…

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…

Happy December! It’s officially colder than I normally like, but something this year is different. I’ve been really enjoying the quiet of a cold day. No one wants to go outside, so everywhere is sparse with people, muted almost, and I think winter is vying for a spot as my second favorite season. I’m not…

Mini Book Reviews 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson (11/15-11/22): There is literally nothing, and…

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…

I saw this over on A Little Haze Book Blog literally forever ago and have just been hoarding it for months, but it was originally created by PaperFury, and I am always down to chat about my favorite of something, so let’s get cooking! Series OR standalone? Honestly, I was originally going to say that…

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…

In honor of Call Down the Hawk releasing this past Tuesday, I decided to reread the entire Raven Cycle in one week. Yup. It’s happening. It’s going to be a journey. I’m going to be exhausted by the end, and highkey very emotional, and I promise I’m going to forget, somehow, for the eighth time,…
