Book Reviews & 2023

Something I’ve been working on, personally, is figuring out what is and isn’t worth my time and effort. This blog goes through that analysis pretty much nonstop, and I always want to post on it but never quite find the right rhythm. Something I think needs to change is the way I write book reviews.

Once again: YA is not NA is not Adult Fiction

If you’re here you probably already know what Book Twitter discourse this is addressing. If you don’t know, enjoy that blissful peace, you deserve it. What is YA?

random lil updates

Howdy! Yeah it’s been a minute. You all know the story: life, money, work, energy, all the usual excuses. I am still working on some bookish content, but I don’t really prioritize a lot of it so it’ll come when it comes. Sorry not sorry. I’m exploring different projects these days.

A Shout in the Void

Whoops… Guess I didn’t post for two months?

Did ya miss me? Well apologies in advance, but I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with this any longer. I’m barely reading books these days and when I do I really don’t feel the need to sit down and write a review the way I used to. I still have drafts I started […]

Discussion: We need more bad girl heroines.

I said what I said. But really: Why I’m over “good girls” There’s this constant need to heroines, it seems, who are so pure and selfless that they will always neglect their own needs and desires for the sake of their loved ones. This is done in a way that sometimes harms the heroine, and […]

May 2021 Wrap Up

Life Update May has been a real doozy of a month y’all. I’ve mentioned many a time before that my job has always sucked due largely to poor management. Things really fell apart this month, and I ended up quitting in the middle of one of my shifts after being emotionally manipulated. We’re moving out […]
