This picture looks more like a birthday or anniversary sort of post, but I don't know, I didn't want to waste too much time looking and just grabbed something with a one in it. *shrug* There's something weirdly fun about looking back at the "firsts" of things. Also tags are fairly easy blog posts to make when I'm low on energy. So here we are! I found this at Howling Libraries (I just get...
Outer space is, well, scary, if I'm being honest. But also cool! In fiction, at least. So I have compiled a list of books that are set in space and on other planets and also gay. (A term I am using broadly, since these are mostly m/m, but there is one about a nonbinary character.) About half are romance-centric, the other half have some romance but it's small or not the only focus. But I enjoyed...
Truly, I am running out of topics to discuss. There is no great depth to this post, I'm just gonna wing it. I've read a lot of books, some of them must've had animals, surely I can think of something to say about that. Keep reading to find...
Eyck frees a slave one day and is pleasantly surprised when the young man shows back up five sun cycles later to be his apprentice. Eyck lost his wife and Wex has had a difficult past, but the feelings they're developing could lead to something great if they can figure out how to navigate...
I made art! I have to excitedly announce it every time because it happens so rarely anymore. Last year I drew Rudolph the reindeer centaur, so this year I drew Cupid. He has albinism, which is why his hair, brows, lashes, skin, fur, hooves, and antlers are all light. I couldn't find a definitive answer on whether albino reindeer have lighter antlers though. I might still work on it some more, but...

I know I say this every year, but this really is one of my favorite posts of the year. What book blogger doesn't love talking about their favorite books??? I was afraid I might not find as many great books as usual this year since I wasn't able to read as many, but it turns out I went for quality over quantity because I still found so many amazing ones. So here are my top ten top eleven favorites...
Characters are the heart of books for me, so, as usual at this time every year, it's time for me to talk about my favorites! The way authors can create entirely new people and make them feel real is always incredible, but there are some characters that stand out more than others, whether it's because they're so relatable or unique or interesting or sweet, and these are my favorites (which may...
