Let’s talk about ships. No, not THAT kind of ship. The fanfic kind. It’s probably not a secret that I write and read fanfiction. A lot of it. No shame 2017. It’s in my DNA. I was shipping OTPs before I even knew there were names for what I was doing. But I realize not…

Hey, baybays. How’s life in this Orwellian hellscape treating you? I myself am coping quite well, I think. Only five breakdowns this week. Things are improving! And whenever current affairs are bringing me down (so basically, all the time), I just have to think about the Saturday before last’s historic Women’s March, and I feel…

Greetings, earthlings. Today I’ve got another FUN SIZE REVIEW to chuck at you (quick, duck, here it comes). Hopefully it distracts you from whatever political/educational/existential is currently plaguing you. I’m currently sitting at the reference desk trying not to think about what I’ll do when my contract expires in, oh, 51 days, 5 hours and…

Happy new year, book nerds! 2017 is going to be our year, I can feel it! And would you believe it, I’m already 4 books into my 2017 reading challenge. I know, I’m a hero. For my first review of 2017, I’m actually going to talk about the last book I read in 2016 – one I…

Alright, book nerds. It’s that time of year again. Namely, the end of it. And thank christ for that, right? What a nightmare. ⇑ 2016 ⇑ But as much as 2016 has fucking sucked in most ways, it’s actually been a pretty great year for me in terms of reading. (Oh and I also FINALLY got a librarian…

WHAT IS UP, MY SCRUMPTIOUS GINGERBREAD PEOPLE? It’s Christmas time, and you know what that means… Books. Everything, always, forever, is books. Duh. So to celebrate this festive season, here’s a list of my all-time fave Chrimbooks. (Christmas = Chrimbo, + books. Chrimbooks. Whatever, it’s a thing. Or it will be. Deal.) Ok, hold on…

What’s the word, book nerds? Yes, I’m back already. I need to cleanse the review palate after that last nightmare of a review. So. Let’s dive into a wonderful book, which I discovered, as I do so many wonderful things, on blessed Tumblr, light of my life, fire of my heart. Ah, Tumblr, how I love…

Greetings, fellow book-wyrms. How goeth life? I’m currently chilling behind a reference desk, wondering how I got so damn lucky to have all of my librarian dreams come true, and trying desperately not to think about when my contract expires in two months (*muffled sobs*) but ANYWAYS enough about that. Before we get started on today’s…

New feature here at the old blogaroonie. Fun Size Reviews. No, they’re not about chocolate (although…). They’re just tiny. Like, 100 words or less (not including gifs, you monsters). Why? Because I want to, and I am all-powerful when it comes to this blog and this blog only. And now, for our first-ever Fun Size…

Didn’t think I’d be back so soon, did you? Well, I’m bored, and I’m currently supervising an empty teen area at the library, so why not be productive. Time for an actual book surprise (I know, right?). Okay, so. Right into it. Today I’m talking about Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad. The Deal: (From the…
