I finally feel en vogue in the reading world, as I am reading Crazy Rich Asians just before the film comes out in August (yes, I do want to watch it). I also want to finish the Crazy Rich Asain trilogy, but I might have to put that on hold since I’m about 300 pages…
Sorting Hat Anonymous: Star Wars Prequels
Hi, I’m a blogger and I’m addicted to sorting fictional characters. Greetings peasants! This summer we’re planning on stepping up our game with the Sorting Hat posts (in other words, actually doing some Sortings instead of just making vague, indefinite plans to do a S.H.A. post…and then never posting anything. #VaguePlansareNoPlans. I’m going to become…
Discussion: What Does It Mean To Live As An Artist
Recently Clara and I finished watching the Kdrama Flower Boy Next Door (ah! The Enrique feels!!!). The other night, while suffering from a random bout of insomnia, I went onto Tumblr and read through some of the meta written about the show. One interesting point that caught my attention: all of the main characters are…
The Unique Blogger Award: It May Be Summer but We’re Still Gothic & Obsessed With LOTR
Hello everyone—long time no see! We are back from hiatus and ready for some Summer Blogging. The general plan is to do a post every Friday, but we might put up something on Thursday every once and a while if we’re feeling particularly ambitious. We’re also hoping to put up one of those Life Update…
Five Classics I am {almost literally} Dying to Read
I (still) cannot read, so with the logical goal of torturing myself, I’m just going to write about all the classic lit I WANT to read but sadly CAN NOT. (Long story short: I got a concussion. Details here). Also, I am aware that the P&P Book Thieves are technically on hiatus, but screw that….
Hermione & Clara Are Sadly Dead: An Obituary
HELLO FRIENDS. Some very exciting & important pieces of news that you all MUST KNOW: I (HERMIONE) HAVE FINISHED MY NOVEL. I am not going to say anything else at this point, because I want to keep this blog and my Hermione pseudonym separate from my eventual Author Name that will be printed on all…
You’re Not Alone/Neither Are You {A Mini Reylo Fic}
{By Hermione Montrose} Occasionally I write fanfics. The one below is actually more of a rewrite, because while The Last Jedi novelization was quite pro-Reylo, parts were rather passionless. The hand touch scene, for instance, was written in probably the briefest way possible, and it was utterly devoid of any sort of romantic or sexual…
OTP Mixtape: Heathcliff x Cathy
As Yoda once said: “Ship or Do Not Ship. There is No Try.” Because let’s face it, when you ship something, you SHIP SOMETHING. Some ships can get borderline obsessive, but it’s all perfectly healthy (right? RIGHT??). After all, we’re TEENAGERS (or teenagers at heart, anyway). We’re supposed to be obsessive and fangirl-ish and so invested in…
To All the (YA) Books I’ve Loved Before {ft. a rant and two small reviews}
I don’t read a lot of YA—I never have, really, simply because it doesn’t interest me. My recent foray into the genre has only served to redouble my aversion to “fluffy” romances and “meet-cutes.” (Because these things are never cute. They’re just annoying.) My YA expertise is pretty much limited to the eleven YA books…
Why Kylo Ren is Getting So Much More than Darth Vader’s “Redemption Arc”: Ben Solo’s Subtle TFA Characterization
Alternatively titled: Ben the Precious Porg {By: Clara Oswin Oswald} Why Hello!!!!! Even after the events of TLJ, some people still think that Ben Solo is going to make a full turn to the dark side in Episode IX. This is actually quite ridiculous, because if you look at Ben’s character and how it compares…
