I feel like I'm supposed to start this post by saying, "Happy New Year!" but that would feel disingenuous. This year isn't going to be any happier for me than the last one was. But this post isn't about the new year, so ha. Take that, 2024! It's about what I did in December. And one of the things I did was make art! And I'm so happy with how it came out. Seriously, this is what I was...
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...
It's October, and I stumbled upon a couple Halloween-y book tags recently, so I figured, what the heck, let's do them! This one was created by Royal Reader (so be sure to credit them if you do the tag too), and I found it at Monstrumology. I'm not really a horror movie person, but luckily you don't need to be to do the...
It feels like everyone could use a bit more joy and laughter right now, so I've put this post together in the hopes of helping some people find that! I'm not promising there's nothing sad or serious in these books. Just that these books have made me laugh or are fun and silly enough to be a nice distraction from real life. I'll try to give some info as to the mood of each book, to the best of...
I haven't done a tag in forever, and when I finally do, I totally fail at it! If you're wondering how one can fail at a book tag, well, you'll see. I could've just not done the tag, but it's my blog and I do what I...
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...
I know I technically did one of these posts last month (even though I skipped some parts), but it feels like it's been so long since my last update. I became Twitter famous since we last talked! Just kidding, but I did have a tweet go viral. It was a wild experience for someone who normally gets 10 likes on a good day. Anyway, if I was going to have a viral tweet (or thread, in this case), I'm...
I did a post with opening lines before, and I'm doing it again because I just think it's really interesting to look at the opening lines of books! I don't know about you all, but I tend to just kind of gloss over the first line, in a way, and immediately forget it by the time I'm a few sentences deep. I don't really stop to pay attention to just the opening line specifically when I'm starting...
When Kelsey, Marcus, and Dev find themselves on another plane after falling through a painting and discover Summer, some of Gray's prophecy starts to make sense. This is the closest Summer has ever been to finding her parents, but she's not sure she can trust these people, and she's so guilt-ridden from a horrible accident that she isn't sure what she wants. Meanwhile, Zoey and Daniel try to...
