WHEREFORE ART THOU???

So I kinda dropped off of the face of the Earth recently. Don’t worry, I’m getting used to the zero gravity out here.  It’s pretty cool that I just get to float around all the time, light as a feather.  Although, I must admit it’s kind of annoying to have all of my belongings just floating across the galaxy.  You think you can’t keep track of your tbr??  Well, mine is literally running away from…

7 CAREERS BOOKS HAVE MADE ME WANT | SHAPESHIFTING + DOG PHOTOS

7 CAREERS BOOKS HAVE MADE ME WANT | SHAPESHIFTING + DOG PHOTOS

Book characters have outlandishly awesome jobs. This is tragically unfair.  Especially when you consider the fact that I grew up with books and therefore the only jobs I ever truly wanted to do when I grew up were things like, “dragon tamer” and “shape-shifting circus performer.”  My expectations for what I would do for the rest of my life were clearly quite high and aspirational with a touch of…

CINDER BY MARISSA MEYER |

CINDER BY MARISSA MEYER |

This book has been sitting on my shelf for at least two years now. “Why, kris? Just…WHY?”  you may ask.  Well, it’s because, as I’ve mentioned like 84326483726 times now, I AM TERRIFIED OF THE HYPE.  I don’t want to be let down!  I, apparently, am a fragile petal who disintegrates at even the thought of a sudden gust of wind.  I tend to buy hyped books and then put off reading them until a small…

THIS SAVAGE SONG BY VE SCHWAB | ALLEGRO + BLOOD

THIS SAVAGE SONG BY VE SCHWAB | ALLEGRO + BLOOD

I am officially operating on the premise that VE Schwab is one of my most favorite authors. of all time. of like ever. Have I read all of her books??  HAHA no, but I have to say that I just adore her writing style and the way she develops her characters, and i’m going to say that that’s enough for me.  Also, I stalk her on twitter so I kind of feel like I know her and she’s FLIPPING PERFECT,…

BOOKS I STRUGGLED TO GET INTO BUT ENDED UP ADORING | LEO + LUMPY LEMONS

BOOKS I STRUGGLED TO GET INTO BUT ENDED UP ADORING | LEO + LUMPY LEMONS

Sometimes books start off as entertaining as a piece of wet cardboard. I’m sure you’ve experienced this at one point or another.  This could be due to the fact that you have been forced against your will to read that stale novel that has all this pretentious language for your literature class.  However, it also could be related to a slower pace than what you like, you speedracer, you.  Maybe…

AUGUST NOTES | BARS OF SOAP + CHEWED UP THINGS

AUGUST NOTES | BARS OF SOAP + CHEWED UP THINGS

I’ve been dreading this post. Not because I didn’t want to write it, these are honestly fun to write!!  As long as I’ve been productive, that is.  Otherwise, they serve as a brutal recollection for me, looking through all my WOOPS, DIDN’T DO THAT things.  No, I’ve been dreading it because this means it’s real; that August is gone, and it’s time to sweep gracefully* into the fall, and therefore my…

7 BOOKS THAT ARE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH THAT I MUST HAVE IMMEDIATELY | DISEMBODIED HANDS + FANDOM CIVIL WARS

Though I do read more than your average human bean, I do end up reading a lot of popular books. I tend to average about 4 books a month (which is good!!!* and I wrote a post about it which you can look at if you want *waggles eyebrows*), but because of this, I don’t read as widely as I would like to.  Also, I have this TBR thing that is becoming more looming with each passing day.  It just so…

DO I READ ENOUGH? | BLACK MAGIC + UNABASHED RAMBLING

DO I READ ENOUGH? | BLACK MAGIC + UNABASHED RAMBLING

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Well, I kind of am always thinking about this a lot already.  I’ve always got books on the mind.  Even when I SHOULD NOT have books on the mind, guess what’s taking over my brain?? THAT’S RIGHT, IT’S BOOKS.  What did you think this was??  A blog about existential crises?* I think the question, “Do I read enough?” is probably something a lot of us book…

7 BOOKS I RANDOMLY READ FROM MY TEACHERS' SHELVES | TURNING INTO A BALL OF STRESS + TEACHERS WITH GOOD TASTE

7 BOOKS I RANDOMLY READ FROM MY TEACHERS’ SHELVES | TURNING INTO A BALL OF STRESS + TEACHERS WITH GOOD TASTE

The prompt today pains me. School??  I don’t want to talk about school, really.  My dad asked me when it started again last night and I nearly burst into a ball of stress tears.  But I didn’t!!!!  I was proud of myself.  I mean, the sense of impending doom was still there, but I did not burst into tears!!  10/10. I don’t have much of an intro for this.  Again, school kind of paralyzes my brain.…

THE ONCE UPON A TIME BOOK TAG | RELENTLESSLY TAGGING + HOPELESSLY CRINGING

I’m so excited for this post. My friend, Lenna @ Sugar Dusted Pages, flipping MADE A TAG and tagged me.  SO OF COURSE I GOTTA DO THE TAG because Lenna is lovely and awesome and she made a fluff-flapping tag excuse me while I scream.  I’m so proud.  It’s like I watched a little bird flap its wings and fly for the first time.  I am seriously so full of elation I’m exploding. So obviously, you need…
