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...

New year, same old everything else? For me, at least. I don't really have any news to report. I sent my sims on another vacation, since there was a Sims 4 Snowy Escape free trial. Unlike their Island Living vacation which was pretty chill, this one was full of snowboarding, skiing, hiking, and mountain climbing. But my sims are active sims, so they had an absolute blast. Every time a new Sims...

There are so many amazing-sounding queer sci-fi/fantasy books releasing this year! It was hard for me to choose just ten for this post, but making these kinds of blog posts is a lot of work, so I had to make a limit for my own sake. Sharing excitement is fun though! I decided to go with just books releasing in January through June for this post, with the hopes that I will do another one for...

I had one blogging goal this year, which was to do one discussion a month. This isn't quite a discussion post, but it's discussion-ish, right? It'll have to do. I saw this tag on Feed Your Fiction Addiction, the original is from 24hryabookblog, and I haven't done a tag in a while, so I figured it'd be fun! I also rarely talk about my bookshelf, so this seemed like a fun chance to do...
