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. I first made the account in November 2017 as a way to share more about my grad school experience and motivate me to enjoy reading again. It was… Continue reading

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

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

A month of flash fiction–#FlashFloodAprilj
Reading Amelia Gray’s flash fiction burst forth something new in me. It was the accessible kind of fiction that I needed then because it was something I could actually see myself writing. I find that there is something very bolstering about flash fiction. It comes together quickly and more organically and seems to require less… Continue reading

Well, this is awkward.
My friends, I’ve been awfully rude. You see, an introduction never seemed in order because I have been (and still am, sort of) under the impression that almost no one reads this blog. Continue reading
