Rosamund Pike is so pretty. I love her as Moiraine even if I may not love this show as a whole

Still reeling from Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.
I never know how to talk about movies but what a delightfully unmoored and deeply personal film that isn’t afraid to be topical or weird.

As I won’t have much free time the rest of this week, I figured I’d grab my summer reading log now.
Hitting it more than thrice over is pretty neat if I do say so myself.

Highly annoyed by readers who give low ratings to book and their review is only “purple prose.”
9 times out of 10 it isn’t even purple prose. More often than not, there isn’t even flowery language used throughout, let alone purple.

Unless you truly dislike tonic water, I *highly* recommend trying an espresso or moka tonic.

Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going.
At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.

My library does separate summer reading challenges for children, teens, and adults, but we also do a staff challenge.
This and the leaderboard posted in the office is exactly what my competitive ass needed to get my reading habits back on track.
