Starting my end of the year posts today with book covers! Believe it or not, this isn't every book I read this year... just most of them 😅 As I always like to say, books can still be amazing with more basic covers, and ultimately the most important thing is what's inside the book, but I still like to appreciate pretty...

I reread this book recently, and also read the next two books, and I decided to rewrite my review.

In some of these, it's really discussed and a big part of things, in others it's very casual and maybe just mentioned offhandedly or implied. (In real life, they/them pronouns do not automatically mean someone is nonbinary, but for...

Happy 10th blogiversay to me! It was actually last month and I forgot, but ten years is a long time and feels like an important number to celebrate. There are not many things in my life that I've stuck with for ten years or more. Gymnastics, visual art, writing stories and poems, and, of course, reading. (Some I can't do much or at all anymore, but they still lasted a long time.) And now writing...
