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,…

One Quirk Later Flashfiction link-up– Featuring my writer default settings
Hello friends! I’ve been very busy these past few days a) writing angsty raps to process my feelings, b) internally (and sometimes externally) screaming about the Hadestown soundtrack, and c) crying over people who have been dead for 200+ years (not going to say who, but I can tell you their last name is Hamilton…).…

Forging the Fellowship tag-I may or may not be bringing a baby to Mordor…
Hello friends! And strangers! And enemies who had been tracking me down for years and have finally caught up to me! Last month, while I was still finishing up finals and therefore absent from the blogosphere, the Story Sponge tagged me for the Forging the Fellowship tag. The tag requires me to assemble a fellowship…

What I’ve been up to- Victorian Lit, Writerly Google Searches, and Snippets
Hello there, world! I hope you are all well and safe. This has been a rough and crazy year so far for everyone. I’ve been doing a lot of tap-dancing, baking and–strangely enough–compulsive cleaning in an effort to stay positive. Whatever works, I guess? By now, I’m sure no one is surprised anymore when I…

2019 recap- books, Shakespeare, snippets, and other things…
Hello! So, I’m not dead, but by now you’ve probably realized that I have a habit of disappearing for long periods of time and not being dead. “Maybe she just takes really long naps?” you may think to yourself. I WISH. I need that kind of nap. But anyway! I’m here to tell you a…

Mid(ish)-Year Freakout Book Tag! (Finally)
So! In my First Half of 2019 post, I said I was planning to do a Mid-year Freakout post. Did you doubt me?? ‘Cause HERE I AM. Admittedly, we are now more than mid-way through the year. BUT I am only going to talk about books that I read up until the end of June,…

Blogiversary- Featuring an interview with a very special sponge…
Greetings friends! It has come to my attention that today is a very fantastic day. 3 years ago on this day I attempted to introduce you to my brain. …Of course, this ended in failure. “Iām sorry. My brain seems to have vacated the premises for the present and, consequently, will not be making an…

First Half of 2019 Recap- mostly school, snippets, and screaming
*swoops in like a blazing phoenix* GUESS WHO’S NOT DEAD????? So the last few months HALF a YEAR has been crazy busy. Which would explain why my last post WAS A 2018 RECAP. Now the year 2019 is now officially half over. And I am not freaking out about this at ALL. Anyway, here’s a…

2018 Recap-Because I actually survived 2018? What?!
GUESS WHO’S NOT DEAD? As some of you may have noticed, right around the time the school semester started, I disappeared. I think it’s high time I filled you in on what has been happening in my life what books I have been reading. 2018 went away quite suddenly and left me standing, dazed and…

August recap- books+movie adaptions+poetry snippet
Greetings, friends! I understand that, to the untrained eye, it would appear that the last post I wrote was the July recap. Not so. I published many profound and brilliant posts this month. Unfortunately, they have fallen into another dimension which makes them difficult to access. But they’re definitely there. Trust me. Books I read…
