  • Remember when I said a part two of The Love Triangle Game was coming soon? Well, I decided I wanted to spread the two posts out a little bit. I wanted to wait a little longer, but I’ll be out of town next week and don’t have time to write a full, brand new post.…

  • Four Word Summary Challenge

    I was browsing some new blogs today, when I came across a new tag I thought was just neat. This tag is, as you can tell by the title, the Four Word Summary Challenge. For this challenge, you have to summarize a book using only four words. Those words cannot include character names or any…

  • The Love Triangle Game

    So, it’s been a while since I’ve done a good old-fashioned game tag. This one was created by BookTuber Jesse the Reader. It’s not unlike the RIP It or Ship It Tag, in which you put a bunch or character names (from all walks of book) in a hat, jar, or some other kind of…

  • In a fit of gayness, I spent the first half of this month reading two books that promised girls in love. The first was Inkmistress, a prequel to Audrey Coulthurst’s debut novel Of Fire and Stars. The second was Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda spin-off/sequel, Leah on the Offbeat. I found both…

There’s something so cathartic about it, even when you’re not the one ranting. I watched a couple more recently and decided to make my own post about it, albeit a written…

  • Recommending Standalones

    I’m a big fan of series. I love joining characters on lengthy adventures and being in it for the long hall. But that doesn’t mean I read series exclusively. On the contrary, I’ve read some fantastic standalones in my day. Today, I’d like to recommend a few of my all-time favorites. From fantasy to contemporary…

  • The Nintendo Book Tag

    It’s been a while since I’ve done a book tag, so I went through my stash of tags I haven’t done yet. The questions on this one caught my eye, so I decided to give it a shot. Obviously, it creates questions out of Nintendo-related things. I’m not a big gamer, but whatever. A tag…

  •   Official Summary: In a star system dominated by the brutal Vathek empire, eighteen-year-old Amani is a dreamer. She dreams of what life was like before the occupation; she dreams of writing poetry like the old-world poems she adores; she dreams of receiving a sign from Dihya that one day, she, too, will have adventure, and…
