Welcome back to Things My Past Self Would Kill Me For Doing! If you’ve seen my previous Defacing-posts (you can find my last one here), you know 2017 was the year I got a new hobby: personalizing my own books (gasp!). For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working on The Lunar Chronicles by … Continue reading

Look, I was going to do this tag around the time it first got created by Maureen Keavy on Youtube, but obviously never did, and here we are more than a year later. You know how it is. Anyway, I’ve been in a musical-y mood lately (more than usual), and thought I’d give this a try. … Continue reading
Defacing time, folks! Today’s victim: My Lady Jane! (Also known as the most hilarious book about Jane Grey currently in existence) In the past, I’ve mostly concentrated on the exterior of the books. For My Lady Jane, though, I wanted to do something about the interior. More precisely, the chapter headers. Now, I actually quite … Continue reading

I only have four books to show you today, so without further ado, let’s just get straight to it. :) First of all, I got myself a physical copy of My Lady Jane, by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, which I read and loved last year. :) Guys, in case you didn’t know, … Continue reading

Like many other individuals around the world, I went to see Beauty and the Beast in the theatre about a week ago, and since I’m not usually that into live-action versions of animated movies, I didn’t really expect to like it. Well…I’m obsessed. (Evermore is my life now) So I thought to myself: “Heeeey, you … Continue reading
Okay, so I went on a bit of a (for me at least) buying spree these past two months, and got six new books, none of which I had already read! Inconceivable. Shocking. Unbelievable. Okay, so maybe not quite that outlandish, but uncharacteristic for me. :) But enough about that, let’s take a look, shall … Continue reading

Remember in my last Defacing Books-post when I said I’d wait a while before drawing/painting on my books again? Yeah, screw that, I have four more defaced books to show you.
This tag was created by ReadLikeWildfire and Beccathebookreviewer, and basically what you have to do is write down 30 character names on pieces of paper, put them in a bowl/cup/jar/black hole, and then choose two at random for every question. If you know basic math, you might have figured out that there are 15 questions in … Continue reading
Here we go, guys. It’s almost over now.
Since I only read 22 books in 2016, it feels kind of silly to do a top 10 this year. Instead, here you have the five books that received 4.5-5 stars from me these past 12 months. Enjoy! (and pick them up if you haven’t already)
