  • 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 Meme Book Tag

    Before I get into this post, I just wanted to point out that today is this blog’s one-year anniversary! I can’t believe it’s already been a full trip around the sun. I’ve loved creating and writing for this blog so much. I can’t wait to see what the next year has in store! And now

  • Top of the Wednesday to ya! I don’t know what that’s supposed to mean. Anyway, it’s time for Top 5 Wednesday! Today’s topic is your top five teachers and mentors. The only caveat was that we can’t choose anyone from Harry Potter, which, fair. I’m also adding a second caveat that I can’t choose anyone

  • One of the most overused tropes in young adult fantasy is the lost princess/queen trope. And yet, no matter how many times I read it, I never get sick of it. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the lasting impression Anastasia, one of my childhood favorites, left on me. Maybe it’s part of that deep

  • The ‘90s Movie Book Tag

    Hello, everyone! Sorry I’ve been AWOL. To be perfectly honest, I haven’t felt like writing anything. But today I do, so I’ve decided to do a book tag. This one takes popular ‘90s films and makes questions out of them. I’ve tried to give answers I haven’t used ad nauseum, so let’s see how I

  • January 2018 Wrap-Up

    What up, squad? It’s time for my first wrap-up of the year! January wasn’t my best reading month. I only finished a couple books. That’s largely due to my sudden infatuation with fanfiction (mainly Macdennis (from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia—keep up)). The Sunny fandom has some really great writers among them. It’s also due

  • The Bob’s Burgers Tag

    Happy Saturday, everyone! How are you feeling this fine day? I thought I’d kick off the weekend with another original book tag! As you can tell by the title, this tag is based on Bob’s Burgers. I’ve taken the characters from the show and created questions based on their personalities. But I’m a shower and

    Well, I survived the big, scary blizzard. Today I am extremely sore after spending three hours shoveling my driveway yesterday. But anyway, today I’m going to do my first book tag in a while. As you can tell by the title, this tag is based on the movie Mean Girls. It takes quotes from the

  • December 2017 Wrap-Up

    Happy New Year, everyone! It’s time for my final post about 2017 and my first post of 2018! That post? Wrapping up all the reading I did in December. Okay, that wording is a tad misleading. I only finished four books in December (though I did come close to finishing Last Call at the Nightshade
