First Lines Friday ~ 9/17/21

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? “I sit with my wrists cuffed to the table and I think, But that I am forbid/ to tell the secrets

Love Is Blind: Reunion Reaction post

*Spoilers! (duh!) * Ya’ll Netflix is good at reality shows. They choose the right mix of people- some for the drama, some for the actual aim of the show. I personally prefer The Circle, but the anniversary episodes of Love Is Blind just dropped, and just how do they squeeze that many episodes out of

So You Finished…The Anthropocene Reviewed

Sometimes, maybe not often, maybe not rarely, but sometimes, you finish a book.

Can We Do A Book Exchange?

I’ll make it short: I have two queer books in good condition that I don’t want to reread and I desperately want to read The Taking Of Jake Livingston. I want to do this because I am low on cash and space, and the local bookstore currently isn’t taking in any books due to overstock.

A Review Of Boredom

Like most creatures, I have my habits. I wake up between 7.30-8.30 AM, make a pancake or grab cereal, and get to work on my tasks for the day. Some homework, grocery shopping, laundry. Sometimes I get slow moments and read, or more rarely, write. I play with my cat and make sure she’s fed.

T10T: I’m an Unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde Sort

Maurice: “I’ve had to do with the poor too,” said Maurice, taking a piece of cake. “But I can’t worry over them. One must give them a leg up for the country’s sake generally, that’s all. They haven’t our feelings. They don’t suffer as we should in their place.” p 167 My return to blogging

Story Generators For Storied Procrastinators

Is this procrastination or research? Does it matter? So a while back I attempted to make a wix blog because block editor is the worst. Turns out wix is an Israeli site and we don’t support genocide in this house, so I’m deleting it but saving the two whole posts I wrote here. I hit
