Book Review – Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig
Not a Nightmare by any means, but not a dream either... https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0BTYYVX9Q&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_QKJAJRYWT8NZXAN7K37K I'm so conflicted at what to rate this. Right now I'm sitting on a 3.5 rounded up to 4, and that is only because I finished this book missing what I loved so much about the first one. I wish I could say… Continue reading Book Review – Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

Daily writing promptWhat have you been working on?View all responses A novel, believe it or not. Anybody that knows me and has experienced the self-doubt and ADHD symptoms that basically make up the bulk of my character should know how difficult this is for me to admit, but here I am, somewhat anonymously putting on… Continue reading Becoming an author, or at least trying to…
It’s Not You, It’s Them…
Inexplicably Popular Books, quality smut, and the pleasures of the Bathroom Read. I have DNF'ed an embarrassing number of books so far this year. So much so that I'd probably have hit my annual reading goal already. I used to feel guilty about this but, as I discussed in my previous post on the joys… Continue reading It’s Not You, It’s Them…

Daily writing promptList three books that have had an impact on you. Why?View all responses Talk about an impossible question. It's easy for me to pick the first two books; those jumped into my head immediately. The third one is going to be a doozy, so let me at least talk about what I can… Continue reading Playing Favorites
A double edged sword.
Daily writing promptDo you remember life before the internet?View all responses I do, and at the risk of sounding like a total curmudgeon, I actually miss it. I should clarify - I don't miss all of it. I love the ease with which I can find certain information; For example, if I saw a video… Continue reading A double edged sword.
The Deck Is Stacked Against You
Review - "The Cloisters" by Katy Hays https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B09ZVJX964&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_GFWEB8NK0PCQQ2EGFFX9 I feel like I have to make some sort of joke about this book being a “Cloister”fuck because, I mean, who wouldn’t, but I would be lying. At least partly. The story is good, nothing revolutionary, but it’s quick paced and short enough that I was able… Continue reading The Deck Is Stacked Against You
The Foxglove King – Review
I finally understand the adage about not judging a book by its cover ★★ Don't judge me too harshly here - In my defense, the cover is extraordinarily pretty, plus the blurb made it sound like this was a story that ticked a ton of boxes for me - magic, fantasy, mystery, romance, etc. The… Continue reading The Foxglove King – Review
Stop Trying to Make Oak Happen
The Stolen Heir - by Holly Black. A Review. I was so conflicted on how to rate this book. I still am. On the one hand, you have Holly Black's prose, which remains as excellent as ever. She's just able to craft words and sentences and entire paragraphs with an elegance that really remains unmatched… Continue reading Stop Trying to Make Oak Happen
Get Bent and Go To Hell
A Review of Hell Bent (Alex Stern #2) by Leigh Bardugo Spoilers Abound. Reader Beware. I’ll get the lame joke out of the way right off the bat and say that I devoured this book almost as fast as that hell beast devoured Darlington in Ninth House. As far as sequels go, this doesn’t surpass… Continue reading Get Bent and Go To Hell
