Mid Year Freak Out Tag–darling characters and series conclusions
*gracefully waltzes in precisely one month after my last post* (Clearly I planned this) Hello, friends! I’m currently in the middle of three different existential crises, BUT I’m not here to talk about that.

Mini-Reviews Series Edition–feat. world-building, feelings, and fan-art
Hello, friends! I’m back today with some mini-reviews. I have to say, writing a mini-review of an entire series probably isn’t the best idea, is it? Good news: I’m not mini-reviewing a series. I’m mini-reviewing THREE SERIES. This is a great idea. This has nothing to do with the post, but NF’s Clouds the Mixtape…

8 Bookish romances I actually support–so much arguing
I spend a fair bit of time bashing romances in books. I roll my eyes at teen romantic drama and rage against so called “romantic” relationships that are SO UNHEALTHY HOW DOES NO ONE ELSE SEEM TO NOTICE. Despite all this, I’m not against all bookish romance. Yes, I’m picky. Yes, I generally tend to…

2020 Recap-discoveries, first attempts, and books galore
Hello and Happy New Year, friends! So. 2020. It happened. That’s all I’m going to say about that. So let’s move on to talking about fiction! I consumed a lot of art this year. I devoured art. Escapism? ….Possibly. In the process of voraciously devouring all kinds of art, I made some new discoveries. Discoveries…

Mini-Reviews–feat. disaster teens, murder, and me screaming
Hello friends! September is already almost over, and what even happened to time? How are we here already?? As promised, today I’ll be sharing some mini-reviews of some of the books I read over the summer…including books I read back in August? And even July?? Bold of me to assume I’ll be able to remember…

Summer recap–rereads, writing projects, and-whoa, podcasts exist
Hello friends! The summer is ending/has ended/it wasn’t even summer in the first place if you live in the southern hemisphere– Let’s just say, it’s the end of August. As always, I spent the summer: consuming as much art as possible in various forms doing my best to create some art of my own actively…

Snarky Fantasy Books-kittens, matryoshkas, waffles, and heists
I was going to write a really thoughtful, intelligent post about the expectations and constraints placed on writers in terms of word counts and what “counts” as a novel…but then I realized I could just squawk about books instead? And this seems like the better option? (I still might get to that other post later,…
