MoreThe first Harry Potter book was published in June 1997. I read it for the first time in October of that year. I was ten years old. You might say that Harry Potter was my childhood, and you might be right. So thank you, Universal Studios, for making sure that my childhood never has to […]
MoreTitle: dawn Author: kiyala Word Count: ~18,000 Read it here. I honestly didn’t intend to start shipping a new ship in this past week. Then I discovered 00Q, AKA the newest ship amongst the fanfiction fleet. If you this is your first time reading my fanfic posts, then I shall be up front: I love […]
MoreI, the Lit Nerd, am actually plowing through this summer reading list much quicker than I thought I would. I’ve gotten through more than half of Dan Brown’s Inferno and, although I get tired just reading about Langdon running around, I’m enjoying the ride. Like The Da Vinci Code or any of Brown’s other books, this […]

This man could read the phone book to me and I’d still get the shivers. So go on, […]
MoreI would post another apology about how every fic rec I give seems to be slash, but I’m really not sorry. Especially not today when the United States has finally gotten its act together and took a big step toward marriage equality. So, I’m not sorry at all, not one bit. I love love, gay […]
MoreIt’s easy to pick up a David Sedaris book and get lost in the French countryside, the witty banter, the family fun. I remember finding Dress your Family in Corduroy and Denim on my mother’s bookshelf and immediately being struck by the innate honesty in Sedaris’ voice and I’ve been hooked ever since. Sedaris writes in […]
MoreNext on the Lit Nerd’s Summer Reading List is Maya Angelou’s newest book, Mom & Me & Mom. If you’ve had the chance to read her first autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, you know that Angelou’s mother was an intense woman who shared a unique relationship with her daughter. Confession Collective Nerds: […]
MoreI’ve read Hamlet so many times that I usually have to replace my copy every year because it falls apart. I don’t even know why I bother reading it anymore; I’ve got it memorized (which, believe you me, is very handy if you ever complete a M.A. in English). Hamlet is possibly Shakespeare’s most well known play, and […]
