I just want to warn anyone who picks up Pegasus that Robin McKinley is still working on the sequel, and it is extremely frustrating to wait. Not saying you shouldn’t read it (I really liked it,) but be warned! […]

I love Tamora Pierce, she’s definitely one of my comfort reads as well. The Lioness Quartet is actually my least favorite of the Tortall series, but even that makes it into the list quite often.

I have read Divergent. It was definitely gripping and I read it super fast, but I had some issues when it was all over. The romance felt completely forced and didn’t ring true for me at all, and the ending felt […]

Yay, thank you! I’m excited to get reading! I’ve been hearing about Mercedes Lackey for years but never picked up one of her books, so perhaps now is the time. And I think maybe I’ve heard of the Novik series? […]

Comments addressed to the letter writer:

Everybody is right about it being simultaneously a big deal (yay! Your body can do new things now!) and not a big deal (after a few years of it every month, it gets […]

I’m joining the teleportation crowd. That’s been my choice for forever, especially since my friends and loved ones started living farther and farther away. It just…I could travel and visit and whatever I […]

That is SUCH a great response. Mind if I steal it? I think I may adopt that as my go-to response for people who inappropriately say they’re OCD or bipolar or otherwise trivialize big things. I love it because […]

If you’re still thinking about it, I wanted to let you know how it went. I did the Beginner’s Body Weight Circuit from Nerd Fitness today, and it kicked my butt. Seriously. WAY less in shape than I thought I […]

Hmm…I like that too. I like it better than a totally random scene, anyhow. And it is VERY in character for Tyrion. And if that is the case (which obviously is only a theory at this point,) I think it’s worth […]

Hmm…I like this! I like to run outside, so I hate investing in a gym, because I use it so rarely. But I do want to start incorporating some cross-training (and something to do on days when Chicago is windy and […]

Oh yay, I can’t wait! I’m glad you appreciate my taste in books (at least this kind of book.) And yeah, I chose a terrible time to start watching Dr. Who (four weeks before the end of the semester) but […]

I was just about to post and say my favorite graduation episodes were Buffy and Gilmore Girls, but you totally beat me to it. +10 for awesome taste in TV!

Can I say that I love Disney while realizing that it is problematic? Because I freaking love Disney. Beauty and the Beast is one of my top five favorite movies, and Belle was one of the first heroines I […]

This column is so much fun, I enjoy it every time! My semester (in my library science grad program, go librarians!) is about to end so I’m definitely looking for new books. Obviously as a library science grad […]

I heard a theory about the Pod scene somewhere else (Pajiba comments, maybe?) that I really liked: Tyrion DID pay the prostitutes in advance, and staged the return of the money as a confidence booster/extra reward […]

I’m actually team both, and I basically agree with everything both of you said. I love my Kindle – I can get books right away, I can carry a lot of books with me at once, PLUS it has games. But the downsides […]

Oh I definitely sympathize. Reading novels is about as good as it gets for me. But as a (hopefully) future teen librarian, I think it’s important to always remember (because goodness knows I forget) that there’s […]

While this makes me extremely empathetic (I cilcked the button!) and it made me want to go read a novel, I would like to point out: you still read! You mentioned the non-fiction, you read many Persephone articles […]

Great article in general, but I think my biggest takeaway from it is going to be “What Would Hillary Clinton Do? (Answer: Be a confident badass. Always.)” I love this. I think I need to ask myself this a lot more often.

Ugh, I am still struggling with this article. The thing is, I read Pajiba all the time. And I love most everything Dustin posts. And he is generally awesome about the childfree, and actually links to STFU […]
