If You Like That, Try This: “Throne of Glass” Edition
If You Like That, Try This is a meme in which I recommend things based on other things (i.e. if you like one book, you’ll probably like this similar book). It’s a great way to introduce people to some great stories they may have missed out on. Today I’m recommending books based on If you [...]
Top 5 Wednesday: Hyped 2019 Releases I Don’t Care About
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 [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
Trope Talk: Lost Princess/Queen
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 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 [...]
