Books, movies, and writing. You know, the good stuff.
Greetings, Martians. I promise this somewhat enigmatic title has a good explanation! Basically, this is a tag where you choose five swoonworthy characters from movies or television and explain why you find them swoonworthy, allotting no more than five sentences apiece. The tag originated with Thoughts All Sorts and Realweegimidget Reviews, but I was tagged... Continue Reading →

*peace signs* 'Sup. Today's post is inspired by the lovely "Top Ten" posts of February's recent romantical festivities, the Lovely Blog Party and the Valentine's Day Period Drama Party.

Warning: What you are about to read is the product of a two-thousand-plus-mile road trip and seven days and nights of glorious exhaustion. Proceed with caution. 😉 So there I was, stuffed in the backseat of a two-door Honda Civic on the way to Memphis, Tennessee from New Haven, Connecticut, and I was thinking. As... Continue Reading →
If you pay any attention to Literature as a Thing, at all . . . you've probably heard the phrase "strong female character" tossed around from time to time; often in the midst of semi-heated debates. Debates which seem to revolve around two questions: What is a "strong female character," anyway? Why do we even... Continue Reading →
Book review time! The Welsh Gambit is the second book in Charity Bishop's The Tudor Throne series, which releases September 7th.
