The Zodiac Sign Book Tag
I’m steadily crawling my way through my blog-tag backlog and I landed on this gem! I was tagged in it many months ago by the lovely Madeline over at The Bookish Mutant, and as someone who doesn’t know a lot about astrology, I thought it would be fun to give it a go. You canContinue reading “The Zodiac Sign Book Tag”
June Wrap Up – Sassy Saturday
This is not posted on a Wednesday and 7 days into July. Your eyes deceive you. Happy Pride Month! I can’t believe I can’t say that again for another year, but I’ve had a great time while it lasted. Even if it’s just capitalism, it’s so nice seeing rainbows everywhere. Finally, I’ve finished all myContinue reading “June Wrap Up – Sassy Saturday”
One Last Stop: Is It Worth The Hype?
YES, YES, A MILLION TIMES YES. Name: One Last Stop Author: Casey McQuiston Published: 2021 For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine howContinue reading “One Last Stop: Is It Worth The Hype?”

🏳️🌈 Mini Reviews: ‘Only Mostly Devastated’ and ‘Wilder Girls’ 🏳️🌈
Ahhh it’s refreshing to have all the characters act the way you want them to for once! This book was nothing like I’d expected. It’s a queer retelling of Grease (I’m hooked already!) but I hadn’t really thought about how that would play into Ollie and Will’s relationship. The book had a strong message fromContinue reading “🏳️🌈 Mini Reviews: ‘Only Mostly Devastated’ and ‘Wilder Girls’ 🏳️🌈”

Discussion: How Do You Imagine Scenes From Books?
Have you ever had a super clear image of how something or someone looks in a book? I’m just now realising… how strange that is. This might not make any sense. But the other day I challenged myself to rearrange some of the furniture in my mental layout of Hogwarts and I just hit aContinue reading “Discussion: How Do You Imagine Scenes From Books?”
Book Review: ‘Theatrical’
Did I only buy this book because it says that it’s the UK’s Answer To Rainbow Rowell on the front? Possibly. Was it? Not a chance. Name: Theatrical Author: Maggie Harcourt Published: 2018 Hope dreams of working backstage in a theatre, and she’s determined to make it without the help of her famous costume designerContinue reading “Book Review: ‘Theatrical’”
Why Leigh Bardugo’s Crows ARE The Umbrella Academy
Look me in the eye and tell me that this doesn’t work perfectly. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of the Umbrella Academy, and while rewatching some episodes while I await Season 3 (yay!), I’ve noticed some… similarities between that and another Netflix show. Books. Anyway, do you think that this has anyContinue reading “Why Leigh Bardugo’s Crows ARE The Umbrella Academy”
