As I begin this Top 5 Wednesday post, I want you all to know that it’s taking everything in me to not say “Top of the Wednesday to ya!” I’ve already used that greeting at least twice and it’s not even that clever. Why can’t I stop saying it? Even now, in saying I’m not [...]

“Thank U, Next” Book Tag
So, I figure I should probably do this tag while it’s still relevant. I don’t want to write a big introduction, so just know that this tag is inspired by Ariana Grande’s new song “thank u, next.” Except instead of exes, it’s about books. That’s really all you need to know. Anyway… here’s the tag: [...]
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. [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite Monsters
Whether they’re in your closet, under your bed, or just in your imagination, monsters have had a grip on all of our minds since childhood. They fill us with terror and exhilaration. Therefore, it’s no surprise that this week’s spooky Top 5 Wednesday topic is our favorite monsters. Fiction has so many great monsters, it [...]
The No Disclaimers Book Tag
You know how on almost every BookTube video the BookTuber starts off with a disclaimer? That whole “This is just my opinion. You can like things I don’t. Blah, blah, blah” thing. I get why they do it, but it’s still annoying. It’s a given that anything you say is just your opinion. That’s why [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Side Characters That Deserve Their Own Series
Well, it’s officially the last week of free choice Top 5 Wednesday. As much as I loved picking my own topics, I’m excited to see what new topics the moderators will come up with for next month. But before we get to that, we have to do this week’s post. Today I chose my top [...]
Trope Talk: Strong Female Characters
For those of you who weren’t readers of YA back then, the early 2000s were filled with female protagonists who were bland and defenseless. I’d call them damsels in distress, but damsels usually have more personality. These girls were blank slates. You know, the Bella Swans of the world. An empty void for the reader [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Characters I Used to Like But Don’t Anymore
Well, well, well. If it isn’t a Top 5 Wednesday post. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of you. I guess I just really wasn’t into the April topics. But the May topics… don’t exist. That’s right! Each Top 5 Wednesday this month is a freebie. That means you can pick from any [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Books I Changed My Mind About
Have you ever read a fanfiction that was so bad and so wild that you just had to laugh? That’s not pertinent to anything, just something I’m going through right now. Anyway, it’s time for Top 5 Wednesday and this week’s topic is a freebie. That means you can choose a previous topic you missed [...]
Trope Talk: Reluctant Monster
Imagine you’re a monster— vampire, witch, werewolf, it doesn’t matter what. Imagine this is your life, either the only one you’ve ever known or one you’ve lived long enough that’s it’s all you really remember. Imagine the way you’d look at the world, the morals you’d have. They’d probably be a very different set than [...]
