How far does author loyalty take you when you just don't like a book? My TBR and "currently reading" list on Goodreads right now is a massacre. I've finished a few books lately, but they've all been ones I've started after the ones that are still on my CR now, after months. Before I go… Continue reading To DNF or not to DNF?

Reacquainting Myself With Old Friends
I recently began my first "re-read" of the Vampire Chronicles in a significant amount of time via audiobook. I hope to write about it more in the future, as it was an integral part of my adolescence, but for now I'm just enjoying reveling in the magnificence of passages like this: Remarkable, if for nothing… Continue reading Reacquainting Myself With Old Friends
Not like other YA Fantasy Heroines…
High-school me would be really pissed off over the Caraval series. We are probably in the golden age of Young Adult Fantasy Fiction right now, as much as we can be in the golden age of anything with the world as it is.

When Great Books Make You Angry – Musings on a Revisitation of the Nevernight Trilogy by Jay Kristoff
Tric is too good for all of them.Authors owe us as readers absolutely nothing. No artist really owes their audience anything. Creating art, I believe, is something that's done from an inherent need to create. Putting it out there in the world and having people enjoy it is fulfilling, and it certainly makes relying on… Continue reading When Great Books Make You Angry – Musings on a Revisitation of the Nevernight Trilogy by Jay Kristoff
Review: Godsgrave
Godsgrave by Jay KristoffMy rating: 4 of 5 starsWell I didn’t see that coming. I’ve got thoughts though, which I’ll expand upon later. Okay, so thoughts, here goes, review with spoilers: I'll say straight off that the strength of this book lays in the narration and the narrator, unreliable as he may be.
