You may or may not know this about me, but I am a Slytherin. A proud Slytherin. After years of my kinsmen being viewed as “the evil House,” things are finally coming around. People are learning more about us and the idea of what makes a Slytherin is broadening. And, as such, more non-Harry Potter…

Listen. Listen. Sometimes books get everything right. But a lot of times they don’t. And I would be lying if I said I don’t spend large chunks of time ranting about when they don’t. So, Strangers… get ready for some ranting. Let’s go. Who should have died? Phoenix from the Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica…

Hosted by ThoughtsOnTomes Hello, Strangers! It’s that time of the week again. This week’s top 5 topic is books that remind you of summer or quintessential summer reads. I often get my books all mangled up, at least in terms of when I read them. I hardly keep track. But I think I can come…

However, Clare’s…

Whether you like her or not, it is impossible to deny that Sarah J. Maas has become a driving force in the direction of YA fantasy. Her books frequently dominate bestseller lists and have very large fandoms. Her model of high fantasy is already being duplicated, cementing her influence. But, despite the recent heaps of…

Hosted by Weezie’s Whimsical Writing Hola, Strangers! I thought this was an interesting new meme that also makes you feel strangely guilty. Basically, you talk about one book you’ve been meaning to buy for a while and one that’s been left unread on your shelf for an absurdly long amount of time. Hooray for procrastination!…
