Queer Coming-of-Age Stories // Recommendations

I love my local library. For one, books. But also the fact that I live so near to the library has helped my love of reading fester. During past summers especially, I would spent the whole day there. Smelling books, reading them, and finding new (and admittedly strange) positions to sit in those really big…

A Vow So Bold and Deadly // a chaotic review

Do you ever start writing a review and then it sits in your draft folder for months and months and months like a forgotten sock under your bed?? Until one day, you are doing an electronic spring cleaning of sorts (but in summer) and you find the sock once again. Only now it is moldy,…

Solitaire // Review

Oy! Happy Tuesday! The National Speech tournament has officially started! In a typical year, we'd be traveling to compete in the tournament live, but this year it will be on Zoom. My first round was earlier today and watching all of the humorous duets made me laugh so hard I was quite literally snorting. After…

10 Second Book Reviews // featuring geese

Oy! Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a charmed weekend! My weekend has been pretty uneventful to be honest. I read some books. I went to work. I sat outside and basked in the sun and then complained about it being too hot. You know, same old same old. I don't know about you,…

How obsessed with books am I actually?? // bookish quiz + feedback requested

There is a fairly good chance some people, maybe, would call my lovely reading hobby an obsession. Why on earth would people say that?? It's beyond me. It's like like I binge read multiple books a week. Or smell books as soon as they arrive in the mail. And please, I'm not one of those…

Let’s Talk Love Triangles // Discussion

Love triangles, eh? Let’s just say I have a complicated relationship with them. Not as complicated as being in a love triangle, but complicated nonetheless.  So many times they just don’t work for me. Whether it be the incessant whining (looking at you America Singer) or the back and forth who will she chose in…

Trope-tastc Recs! // Sunshine and Grumpy

WELCOME TO THE WORLD, GLORIOUS COMPUTER OF MINE! She is currently three days old, and luckily it seems like we are avoiding the terrible twos (computer time works differently than human time). Brought to life at 11:26 PM on May 31st, she is a proud Gemini and has a birthstone of emerald. Name is still…

June TBR

Oy! Happy Sunday! Wait. Actually it is Wednesday. It is the second day of summer and time has already taken off running leaving me confused and clueless as to what day it is. Whoops. I'm not normally one for making a tbr. Wait, let me rephrase that... I'm not one for sticking to my tbr.…

May Wrap Up // the month of the contemporary

Oy! Hope everyone had an ah-MAY-zing May! Is this the eighteen-th time I've made this joke this month? Yes. Yes it is. But it makes me chuckle every time so let me and my puns be, ok. It has been a very busy month, but at the same time I look back to see what…

Chronicles of a Bookworm // reading vlog May 22-28

Oy! Happy summer ☀️ I know, I know, it's not technically summer yet. At least not in correspondence with the almighty force that is whoever decides the first day of summer is June 20. But for me, school is out and I'm ready to embrace summer in a big ole bear hug. Ice cream, kayaks,…
