we're all mad here
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. Which, let’s be real, I don’t finish a lot of visual media that I start. The fact that I’ve consistently participated…

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…

This week’s That Artsy Reader Girl topic feels the perfect transition back into posting on the blog because creating these next two months of posts have been nothing short of joyful. After a month off in August, it’s so good to be back, and I am just glowing with excitement over something as simple as…

Much like last week, I’m feeling some kind of way lately, which is going to resolve itself next week in a summer break, but, until then, we’re doing another tag! Once again, thank you to Zezee with Books for their amazing collection of book tags, which has kept me afloat these past couple of weeks.…

Did I seriously make a full reading schedule for myself this month? YOU BETCHA. I had twenty books on my Pride TBR, and to read all of them would mean five books a week, which was, frankly, stupidly unfeasible, and I don’t know what I was thinking, except that I did not expect this to…

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…

We’ve already discussed my favorite couples & queer fantasy MCs, and we’re chatting why I want even more queer fantasy MCs next week, but I’ve also been dropping short stories every week (here’s one for sister witches and sycamore girls!), and I thought it’d be fun to combine the two. All of my books feature…

Honestly, thank heck next month is Pride. After this hellish month, I need a reason to celebrate. I ended up five-starring all but one book this month, and four were preorders that I was very excited about, so that makes me even happier. I’m also wandering my way back toward writing, so it’s really just…

(This doesn’t get salty. It started there. Also, every book cover you see has positive queer rep!) Literally why, though? Why is there ever homophobia in fantasy? If you’ve created an entirely separate world from Earth that includes magic and your own cultures and faiths, why would you include any of the bullshit that takes…

No matter who you are, you can think of a book that has a magic system that completely disregards all sense and just doesn’t have rules. Heck, who knows, you may find this refreshing, but I think I’m in the majority when I say that that kind of writing immediately takes me out of a…
