Readathons: Helpful Or Harmful?

  https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gh98kgfHF/ YAY! IT’S OVER! If you’re reading this in the not-near future, the Reading Rush 2019 has ended, a week of challenge and binge reading, of daily reading vlogs and a rise in the consumption of short and graphic novels. As in the art form, not smut. But you do you. I read the

12 Queer Graphic Novels!

Ever since I read Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me I’ve been chugging queer stories told in art form. There’s tons of them! I don’t know how I’ve lived this long and not seen them! Here’s 12 recs that I have or intend to read. Have read: #1 Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me https://www.instagram.com/p/BzJDlg_Abf3/ Rep:

T10T: New Adult Settings I’d Like to See More Of

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. #1 University I for one, would’ve loved to have been

Reading Rush TBR

The reading rush was originally called booktubeathon and is hosted by Ariel Bissett and Raeleen Lemay. For a week every summer readers read 7 books with these prompts. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MIEpFgIB5/   Purple Cover: Tomorrow We Die This has been on my shelf for a while, so it’s dark purple cover might be the only reason I’m

Loki: Where Mischief Lies

 I received a copy of Mackenzie Lee’s Loki via @lexasaurusdoom for an honest review, with emphasis on the genderqueer rep.

This book follows the same structure, but instead of an intense battle we

The Fellowship Of the Ring Book Tag

Yet another tag I’m doing even though I never get tagged. I’m a kleptomaniac nerd, deal with it. 1. Gandalf – A book that taught you something 🙂🙂🙂 🙂   2. Frodo – A book that left a mark on you  I read Into The Wild as the first book in AP English, with the prompt “What makes

Why We Need More Bookish Discussions (A Bookish Discussion)

 We need book recs & TBRs. They give us suggestions as to what to read, but they don’t always offer the critical thinking and awareness of what is going on in the online bookish community, scandal and trend-wise. Take To All The Boys I Loved Before; it’s a decent trilogy that deserves good reviews. But

Creepy Or Queer Underrated Book Recs

This post was inspired by Becca’s tweet and my recent dissatisfaction with a lot of overhyped books (post here)  I’ve also seen a few other posts like this- was this a Top Ten Tuesday prompt?  Here’s some book recs that I found by wandering about the library, with no preconceived idea of what would be.

Why Overhype Kills

 All readers experience it. A friend starts talking about this book that they love so much they would die, kill, and sacrifice their college fund for this book:  So I read it and it’s great! Or good. It’s ok, I guess. Can you calm down now? So how did you like it?   Well, I mean, how

Dear Lara Jean/ To All The Boys I Loved Before Trilogy

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKOLDulUbI/  You probably think this is a love letter, cause you’re a romantic like that. But no, it’s a break-up letter. We really are not compatible.   You’ve grown a lot in the past few years, and I respect that. I almost broke up with you sooner, but I figured we spent so much energy trying
