A bit of a movement in independent publishing has attempted to bring different, diverse voices to fiction. It's there in traditional publishing, to mixed success, but it's gone wild in the indie world from what I have seen. This is a good example of that, to mixed success. The Dragon of Ynys by Minerva Cerridwen... Continue Reading →
June was a small reading month for me. I didn't read a whole lot, but I had a few good things to read. Unfortunately I also had more than I normally have that was either a complete miss or a very meh read. I don't know if there was anything I read that I'd like... Continue Reading →
This is ridiculous, I'm going to open with that. I hate TBRs and I'm terrible at them. Yet I want to try. I want to 'take' the NEWTS later this year and I want to... pass? and have a magical career - at least in my head. I think quarantine has broken me. I'm not... Continue Reading →

Everyone should be impressed - I have managed to finish a series. This is unusual for me, especially during such a stressful time as the past 4 months have been. I got lucky and was able to get most of the series through my library and the last 5 volumes my friend let me borrow... Continue Reading →
Giant Days is by far my favorite comic book series that I’ve kept up. Even when cutting my book budget down to the minimum I saved the money for each volume that came out. So when I spied a new John Allison series starting I jumped on board without even looking at the... Continue Reading →
