Monday Chatter: Why Plagiarizing Reviews is Bad (Because Apparently it Needs to Be Said)

Happy Monday, everyone! Originally I wasn't going to write an entire post about this because I don't like voluntarily courting drama (unless it involves someone coming after a person I care about. Then I start sharpening knives), but the more I thought about it, the more irritated I got. So I'm just gonna get it …

Monday Chatter: Pride Parade and Death By TBR

(Pride Parade and Death By TBR performing at your nearest city. Get your tickets now!)

Hey guys! I'm a tad late on this one so it's gonna be a bit short. The weather's gone from "I'm sorry, WHY is it 23 degrees in the middle of March???" to a nice, comfortable, predictable "10-15 and raining" which I'm pretty happy about because that makes it the perfect weather for rainy-pier watching. …
