Is “Six of Crows” the Best YA Series Ever Written?
If you’ve spent any time in the online book community within the past few years, you’ve undoubtedly heard the phrase, “No mourners. No funerals.” Or maybe you’ve heard, “The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.” Or perhaps, “My darling Inej, treasure of my heart, will you please do me the honor [...]
Favorite Friday: Recent Favorites
Favorite Friday is a meme in which I discuss some of my favorite things. Some Fridays it’ll be based on a topic, while others it’ll just be about some of my recent favorites. As you can tell by the title, today’s post is going to be the latter. I couldn’t think of a specific topic [...]
Fall Out Boy Book Tag
Music and literature are my two great loves. As such, I love tags that combine the two. This tag takes Fall Out Boy songs and forms questions out of them. My emo heart loves Fall Out Boy, so I’ve been excited to do this tag since I found it. And today is the day I [...]
Google Translates Book Quotes
The other day I did the Google Translates My Favorite Books meme. It was a lot of fun, so I thought I’d do it again— with a twist. This time I’ll be taking some book quotes and putting them through several layers of Google Translate and then back into English. For each book, I’ll provide [...]

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 [...]
The Hamilton Book Tag
What’s based on songs from a musical but came two years too late? This tag! Okay, technically this tag has existed since Hamilton was the Big Thing, but I’m only just now doing it. And I picked it in honor of the Mean Girls cast recording coming out yesterday. I know there’s not really a [...]
The OMG This Song Tag
Let’s be real: it was only a matter of time until I did this tag. Books and music? That’s my bread and butter. Basically, each item has an overarching topic and two different questions: one for a song and one for a book. I’ve been itching to do this tag and today seemed like a [...]
Slytherin Greatness: Character Profile on Kaz Brekker
Despite how excited I was when I first came up with this topic, I’ve only written two posts for it so far. And they were each two to three months apart. Sue me. (Please don’t. I’m very poor.) But whatever. Today I’m doing another one. Better late than never. Character Kaz Brekker Source Six of [...]
