I read fewer books this year than I have probably since I started blogging ten years ago, so there's actually not ten books here. That felt like too many, and there were only six books that I rated 4.5 or 5 stars. Two of which are a duology and three of which were rereads (though I do still count rereads because if a book was that great more than once, it deserves recognition more than once). I...
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'm a little late with this post because I've been worried and stressed and tired and just forgot last weekend. But I'm here now! So what have I done since my last update... I started listening to a new (to me) podcast called Midnight Burger. It's about a diner that travels through time and space. I watched Galavant on Hulu. It was fun! Made me laugh. From what I understand, it was supposed...
I love book quotes! I'm a quote hoarder. But I didn't need to look through my hoard of quotes for this post because it's all about the ones that have stuck in my mind. These are not necessarily meaningful quotes. They run the gamut from beautiful to emotional to funny to horrifying. You'll see. They're just the ones I still think about because they hit hard in the book or were so...
It's me, I'm the fantasy reader! I found this tag on Howling Libraries, and it seems the original was created by Bree Hill about romance books. I'm not sure who came up with the idea to make it about fantasy, but since I am a fantasy reader, I'm glad someone...
I like fae and I like books, and I really like this tag because it has some creative questions that I've not seen in other tags. Having already done the tag (I'm writing the intro last, sorry to break the illusion), I like that I even got to talk about some books I haven't talked about much or in a while! Anyway, I found this at KBbookreviews. The rules are: - Give credit to the creator of...
I cut my hair! (And bought a pirate shirt!) That's my big October news. I also made some art! I bought Rebelle 5 Pro because it was on sale for $20 (normally $150) and mimics traditional media like watercolor and oil paint. I can't use traditional media because it takes energy, money, and space that I don't have, so this has been fun to play with! I love the idea of controlled randomness like...
I love paranormal and urban fantasy! I could give tons of recommendations, depending on how loosely you define "urban fantasy." For this, I tried to stick to what most people probably think of---our world (though maybe with known existence of magic), modern times, not too slow or rural, at least some action/battles---though I did slip a few in that don't fit the criteria perfectly. I could give...
I know February isn’t quite over, but I didn’t feel like trying to figure out another post for today, so we’re doing this one early. And since the world is not doing great right now, and I’m not doing great right now, and a lot of people aren’t doing great right now, I’ve decided to...
I needed a blog post, and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I took inspiration from that. And I just love characters and relationships and quotes and wanted the excuse to talk about them! I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with too long of a blog post though. So here are five quotes from five (but definitely not all) of my favorite book couples being silly or swoony or ridiculous...
