“The biggest difference between boys and girls is how people treat them.” -I.W. Gregorio, None of the Above This particular book was on my to-read list for a long time before I actually read it; school mostly got in the way, and then I forgot about it until I wrote an article about gender non-conformingRead More
Katniss Everdeen is Asexual–And Why That’s Important
The Hunger Games made a big splash in the young adult world back when it was first published in 2008. Since then, a lot of authors have been trying to recreate the success of The Hunger Games series, but none have quite reached the same rate of popularity.

Character Playlist: Charlie Kelmeckis
Stephen Chbosky, Perks of Being a Wallflower I missed posting a playlist last week, mostly because things were a little hectic here and I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this year, so I’ve been focusing mostly on that. But as I’m waiting for the election results to roll in, I thought making a playlist would be theRead More

The Stages of Reading in Gifs
Finally picking up that book you’ve been waiting months for: Reading those first few pages: Settling in for a night binge session: The point of no return: Finishing the last page: Just thought I’d try a different type of post, and this was fun! Perhaps something I’ll try again. 🙂
Character Playlist: Eleanor
Let me start by saying if you haven’t read Eleanor & Park yet, you 100% should. Rainbow Rowell creates amazingly beautiful and realistic love stories, and when I read this book back when it was first published, I fell in love with her prose. It’s been a bit since I read this particular book, soRead More
