If there’s one thing I love, it’s an unlikeable character. Bonus points if that character is a girl/woman. There’s something so refreshing and freeing about seeing fictional women get to just be kind of sucky people. But there’s a balancing act to getting it right, especially when writing an unlikeable female protagonist is your goal. [...]

Top 5 Tuesday: Worst Rulers
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly book discussion with a new topic every Tuesday hosted by Shanah of Bionic Book Worm. It’s each blogger’s job to pick five book-related things (though you’re welcome to pick things from other media, if necessary) that fit the topic.

Favorite Friday: Villainesses
New year, new meme! Favorite Friday is a brand new meme in which I discuss some of my favorite things. Some Fridays it’ll be based on a topic, while other it’ll just be about some of my recent favorites. This week I’m kicking things off with my favorite villainesses. A few you may expect to [...]
If You Like That, Try This!: The Young Elites Chain Reaction!
Well, well, well. Yet another meme I started and then promptly abandoned. The meme I’m bringing back today is the classic recommendation meme.

July 2018 Wrap-Up

June 2018 Wrap-Up
Before I get into the meat of this post, I’d like to apologize for being MIA this past week. My time to write and post has been severely cut into, so I haven’t been able to do either. But don’t worry, I have quite a few posts planned and even have a new series I’d [...]
