Character Playlist: Writing Edition
I’ve been in a bit of a creative rut lately, because I’ve been working a lot and don’t feel like I have a lot of time to just sit and create. Today, that comes in the form of choosing a character to create a playlist for, so today I’m going to dedicate my playlist toRead More
Review: Bad Feminist
“Books are often far more than books.” -Roxane Gay, Bad Feminist I’m still a little (re: a lot) behind on reviewing books I’ve read for the past 3 or 4 months, so bear with me while I attempt to catch up! This particular book I read back when I was in England in June, andRead More
Character Playlist: Adam Thorn

A Series of Unfortunate Re-reads: Part 3
The books are starting to get longer as I get further into the series, and they’re taking me a little longer than the beginning! This week, I finished books 7 through 9 (The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, and The Carnivorous Carnival). I think I’ll still be able to finish all of the books byRead More
Review: Things I Should Have Known
“It’s like people have a place in their brain for normal, and they have a place in their brain for something obviously wrong, but they can’t deal with something just a little bit different. And that makes them uncomfortable. And when people are uncomfortable, they act like jerks.” -Claire LaZebnik, Things I Should Have KnownRead More
