  • Hot Takes on The Weeknd Controversy, Cassandra Clare’s Lawsuit, Drag Kids, and More

    We’re only halfway through January and so many things have already happened. Perhaps that statement seems obvious, but it seems awfully early in the year for me to already be writing one of my patented many-opinions pieces (not actually patented). And yet, here we are. This’ll probably take a hot minute, so let’s just cut

  • The 2019 Book Releases I’m Chomping at the Bit For

    Technically speaking, I already did this post back in December. But I didn’t get to talk about all the books I wanted. Plus, I’ve found some more that I need, like, yesterday. I’m not going to waste time talking your head off. You’re here because you’re hoping to find some new books to get excited

  • December 2018 Wrap-Up

    New year, new content! But first, I have one more loose end I have to tie off before I leave 2018 behind for good. I’ve got to tell you about all the books I read in December. During the final month of 2018, I read four short stories, two short story anthologies, five novels, and

  • Top 5 Wednesday: Most Anticipated 2019 Releases

    Today we’re taking a break from year-end lists for Top 5 Wednesday. It’s been a while since I did a T5W post, but this was a topic I just had to cover. 2019 is going to be filled with some super awesome releases. I really had to look inside my soul in order to narrow

  • The Most Disappointing Music, Books, & Movies of 2018

    I’ve been pretty lucky this year to not have been disappointed by too much media. I’ve gotten a lot better at choosing things I know I’m going to enjoy or recognizing tropes I don’t like in plot summaries and avoiding said media. In fact, I’d argue that I’ve had an overall good year for music,

  • The Pressure of Expectations: A Review of “Queen of Air and Darkness” by Cassandra Clare

    Official Summary: What if damnation is the price of true love? Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees

  • Top 5 Wednesday: Characters I’d Have Over for Friendsgiving

    While Thanksgiving is a day to celebrate family, it’s also one of the most stressful holidays of the year. After all, even if you love your family members, that doesn’t always mean you like them— especially when extended family comes into the mix. I’ve been lucky both in that Thanksgiving at my house has always

  • The Book Bachelor

    Lately, BookTube and book blogs have been filled with videos and posts of people doing relationship-based tags, from RIP It or Ship It to The Love Triangle Book Tag (and Love Triangle Game Part 2!). This week a new tag joined their ranks, this one called the Book Bachelor Tag. Invented by Ashley from A

  • The Love Triangle Game: Part 2

    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.

  • 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
