  • The NetGalley Book Tag

    Good afternoon, gang! I had a little time on my hands and I didn’t post anything yesterday, so I decided to bang out a quick book tag. Rather than being about the books themselves, this is actually more about me. Now, I’ve only recently started using Netgalley, but I’ve been approved for a couple ARCs.

  • The Diverse Books Tag

    In light of recent commentary on the apparent “unrealistic” nature of diversity in books (yes, an actual recent criticism), I thought it would be a good time to do a brief tag celebrating diversity in books. Because, despite popular belief, diverse characters don’t have to have a reason to be diverse. Real diverse people don’t

  • The “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Tag

    As I wrap-up my second viewing of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, I thought I’d make a tag based on the show. Nothing fancy, just questions based on the characters and other staple aspects of the show. I tried to be as unique as I could, so let’s see what you think. Mac: A character

  • If You Like That, Try This: The Shadowhunter Chronicles Edition

    Cassandra Clare’s magnum opus The Shadowhunter Chronicles is one of the most successful YA series to date. The characters are well-loved, the plots infamous, and the ships swoony as hell. But what do you do once you’ve exhausted every word of the overarching saga? Well, I’ve found a few other books and series that I

  • Top 5 Wednesday: Favorite “Unlikable” Protagonists

    Hosted by ThoughtsOnTomes Hello again, Strangers! It’s time to do this week’s Top 5 Wednesday topic! This week’s topic is your favorite “unlikable” protagonists. “Unlikable” protagonists get a bad rap, but they’re often some of my favorite characters. I get tired of flawless, can-do-no-wrong main characters, so “unlikable” ones are often a refreshing change. So,

  • Top 5 Wednesday: OTPs that Don’t Involve the Protagonist

    Hosted by ThoughtsOnTomes So, somehow I completely forgot about Top 5 Wednesday last week. Ordinarily, I’d just skip it and go on to the next one, but it was such a good topic, I have to do both today. Last week’s top five topic was your top five side ships. These are the OTPs you

      Evening, Strangers! It’s time for my May wrap-up! This month was a much better reading month than April. I read nine books this month, most of which were on my TBR. I read a lot of good books, as well as some I had mixed feelings on. Well, enough dilly-dallying around. Here are all

  • Slytherin Greatness: A Character Profile on Julian Blackthorn

    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
