Book Diaries: My Best Friend’s Exorcism, by Grady Hendrix (2017)
Picked this up on a whim at the library and couldn’t put it down! I read My Best Friend’s Exorcism by Grady Hendrix in just a couple of sittings because I was instantly hooked by the style and I HAD to know what happened! Some combination of the 80s setting and the teenaged main characters… Continue reading

Thoughts on the Empire of Storms and Tower of dawn Tandem Read
Spoiler alert: It gave me life. If you’ve ever even considered reading Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass series, you’ve probably discovered there are some… I don’t want to say rules. Guildlines? Suggestions? that fans of the series have very strong feelings about. Most of them have to do with order. Are you supposed to… Continue reading

A Loveletter to my Reading-whatever-tf-i-want era
(Or, why I’m not being a book snob anymore.) True life: I used to be a pick-me reader. This is a common occurrence amongst AP classes and English majors. Somewhere along the way, the kids seen as gifted because they devour books they adore stop picking up books they enjoy in favor of what they… Continue reading

Coming Out of my Unofficial Bookstagram Hiatus and I’ve Been Doing Just Fine
(Alternate Title: The Bookstagram Update Nobody Asked For) If you’ve been around for a while, you may remember when I first fell down the #bookstagram rabbit hole.

Book Diaries: Milk Fed, by Melissa Broder (2021)
Care warnings: eating disorder, self-harm, and homophobia. I swear, I didn’t set out to read another horny and vaguely-incest book right after Hysteria. We blame the algorithm of Scribd being like, you liked Daddy Kink, but have you tried Mommy? (Sorry.) Either way, I’m glad they did! Milk Fed, by Melissa Broder, is essentially a diary… Continue reading

Why I think House of Earth and Blood,by Sarah J. Maas, should have been two books
I finally read “House of Blood and Earth,” by Sarah J. Maas. For those of you who don’t know, HOEAB is the first of Maas’ Crescent City Series, interspersed in the cultural phenomenon that is the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. (At least, it feels like a phenomenon. The thing about the TikTok… Continue reading

My 2022 Reads
This list is… not so impressive lol. I used to religiously track my reading progress and try to reach goals and post a count in my stories and I’ve really gotten over that. But that’s a story for another time! I will say that 2022 made me interested in carving time out for reading as… Continue reading

Book Diaries: HYSTERIA, by Jessica Gross (2020)
This is a book I would call “not for everyone.” It’s not a fun, satisfying plot. It’s not sexy as in, hot. It’s more like, do you ever feel so much shame about sleeping with your dad’s colleague at their psychiatrist dinner party and consequently self-sabotage so hard that you give a blowjob to a… Continue reading
