March: So Many Books, So Little Time

Greetings my children. It’s finally the month of March, and while for some of you that may mean spring has finally arrived in all of its flowery glory, us here in Montana are in the middle of nature’s endless battle between spring and winter, snow and mud, and above and below freezing. Regardless of your [...]

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 [...]

To All the (YA) Books I’ve Loved Before {ft. a rant and two small reviews}

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 [...]

The Mystery Blogger Award {we are back from hiatus & more brilliant than ever}

GREETINGS PEASANTS! The Proud and Prejudiced Book Thieves are officially back from hiatus. Hopefully we’ll be able to do a post a week for the next couple of months, but we make no promises.

Silver Screen To Silver Page: Book Recommendations From Our Favorite(ish) Movies

Hermione: Greetings, peasants! It is currently a hot summer’s afternoon. Clara is sitting next to me playing with dominoes. I’ve spent most of today reading this absolutely fascinating book about English History (no joke—it’s a serious page-turner, and it’s nonfiction. I am quite proud of myself.) But we are going to take a wee break [...]

Me and Earl and The Confused Readers of the World

By Clara Oswin Oswald (Yes, I am aware this "whale" hello gif has already been used on our blog--but  I saw it and I cannot stop laughing!) Hello Chums! If you haven’t already guessed, today I’m going to dissect Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. What you DON’T know is that I’m also going [...]

A Grand YA Rant // Our Thoughts on Characterization & Diversity in YA Novels

A Grand YA Rant // Our Thoughts on Characterization & Diversity in YA Novels

It’s currently a rather rainy *bleh* sort of June day—and so the perfect time to do a blog post, obviously! The thing is...when we sat down to write this, neither of us were really in the mood to write something terribly concise and/or witty. So, we decided to enter into a discussion on (what else?) [...]

Book Discussion: Nineteen Minutes

Book Discussion: Nineteen Minutes

Recently, Clara and I read both read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, and since it was so terribly thought-provoking, we simply had to blog on it! Now, usually when we do this type of discussion post, we both end up getting sidetracked and going off on these random tangents, and nothing really gets discussed. That’s [...]
