Hey, everyone! Aah, I’m finally getting through all the tags that I was tagged for, which feels pretty nice! I was tagged for this one by Madeline @The Bookish Mutant quite a while ago, and it looks like a very unique tag!
3 Read-Once-And-Loved Authors



- Darcie Little Badger is definitely one of these. I enjoyed her first book, Elatsoe, maybe not as much as I enjoyed other books, but it was definitely a fun read. But then once I read her second book, A Snake Falls to Earth, I now LOVE her.
- Margaret Owen. I’m like a one-person hype train for Owen. I loved The Merciful Crow as soon as I read it, and she just has the best story ideas and you all REALLY NEED TO READ HER BOOKS.
- Rosiee Thor is just such a great author, her first book Tarnished Are the Stars is super unique and I’ve also talked to her and she’s just such a great person! I’m super excited for her next book.
3 Titles I’ve Watched but not Read
I do not watch a lot of books that I have not read. I would definitely say Lord of the Rings for this one; I read the first one and a half books of LOTR, but never finished it, but I watched all three movies. Do…Marvel movies count? I mean, I haven’t read any of the Marvel comics, but I’m slowly getting into the Marvel movies, so I guess I’m counting those. As for a third, I honestly cannot think of anything at the moment.
3 Series I Have Binged


I don’t read many serieses very fast, first of all because usually I read newer releases, which means that their sequels aren’t out yet, and also because it’s actually fairly hard to get me into a series. I’m learning that I do enjoy standalones more than anything. But I will say, I read Raybearer and its sequel pretty much back to back. I also read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom very close together (really, who didn’t? Once you got into SoC, you had to read CK). And once again, I cannot think of a third book series that I binged.
3 Characters I Love



- Nina from A Snake Falls to Earth. Ah, as you can tell, I REALLY enjoyed this book. And even though I feel like the book mostly follows Oli (and he was a total bean), it was really Nina who I liked most of all.
- Aideen from Not My Problem. Okay, this book was 100% the funniest book I have ever read, and it was definitely because of Aideen.
- Okay, Jesper is kinda a classic, but I love Jesper. I don’t know, he’s just funny but also really cool and…I don’t know, okay? We love Jesper. He’s great.
3 Current Favorite Colors
Well, okay. So, honestly my favorite color is probably orange. Like, a bright color orange, it’s really pretty. But also, I really like a lot of blues and blue-greens. Not with orange, obviously (I don’t like orange and blue together), but blue is just really pretty. And then of course there’s black, because I don’t know. Black goes with everything and it’s just a very nice color.
3 Things You Have Used as Bookmarks
So, I’m actually not going to answer this question, because I have a whole list of weird things that my family and I have used for bookmarks, and I want to do a whole separate post on it because I thought it would be a bit of a fun thing for a post. That one’s coming soon, I promise!
3 Unpopular Bookish Opinions
As soon as I am asked, all opinions about everything leave my mind. Okay, this isn’t exactly a bookish opinion, but it is one related to writing. It’s an opinion I am always very very scared to say, because I know there’s gonna be backlash, but here goes…I don’t always use the Oxford comma. Basically, my second grade teacher was the first one to really address the comma before the ‘and’ thing and she told me it wasn’t necessary, so that just stuck with me. I’m actually beginning to use it much more now (peer pressure? who knows) and I ALWAYS use it when it’s necessary. Like, I believe that it should be used, and I do use it, but not always.
Anyways, I guess the other two bookish opinions that are probably unpopular are that I don’t really like the friends-to-lovers trope. Also, I don’t get the big deal about Kaz Brekker. He’s cool I guess, but he’s probably one of my least favorite of the Crows. Everyone’s obsessed with him and I’m not totally sure why.
3 Book Goals for the Year
Okay, so I already published a post about bookish goals for this year, way back in the beginning of January, which you can find here. But a few of the goals from that post are to keep better track of my reads (so far, so good!), to not feel forced to write reviews (I wrote a discussion post about this earlier this year, you can find it here), and to DNF more books, which I honestly don’t think is going to happen because apparently I’m just terrible at DNFing and really only do it when I’m in a huge book slump or if I am REALLY bored by a book. Even if I hate it, I’ll keep reading it.

I thought it was a lot of fun!! Darcy Little Badger did a great job with all of the POV changes, they felt really smooth
I don’t remember any of the characters though oof but I will say that the whole scene where Nina’s trying to explain what a furry is to her grandma killed me 💀

Yeah! Personally I actually thought the writing was better than in Elatsoe. Lol i do not remember that scene but that does in fact sound very amusing. I liked Nina as a character better than I liked Ollie but the friend group that Ollie formed with all the other animal people was just perfect

Huh interesting! I used to always love reading series but nowadays, I’m gravitating more towards standalones. What series have you been enjoying lately?

Thank you sooo much for the tag!! 💕 Jesper is also one of my all-time favourite characters and I love how you mentioned orange, it’s such an underrated color! And sameee I hate the friends-to-lovers trope! I really don’t get the appeal and I will stay away from a book that has the trope! When I read Raybearer, I had never been more excited to read a sequel! Thank you again 🥰

Of course! Yesss, honestly Jesper is just the total best. Haha I’ve never heard someone describe a color as underrated, but orange totally is!!! Oh my gosh, I’ve literally never met someone who doesn’t like the friends-to-lovers trope. It seems like everyone does! Personally, I just think that if people are friends, it kinda ruins it by making them also romantic interests. People are always so obsessed with romance and friendships are so underrated, so it can be really annoying when an amazing friendship is totally ruined because authors just think oooh, romance is so much better.

Haha I agree! It’s important to have a friendship with your partner but why ruin a completely fine and healthy friendship by throwing in romance??
