I've been in a reading slump for the past few months. Maybe I just have too much to work on and think about to properly sit back and enjoy myself. With that said, even though as a result of my slump it took me a while to read this...I did enjoy my time with Havenfall.... Continue Reading →
Skyhunter by Marie Lu Book Review
I am a huge Marie Lu fan. I haven't read and I haven't loved all her books, but almost all I have read were gold mines that got me out of reading slumps. I was in one when I started Skyhunter, and maybe I just had too much on my mind, but my dad gave... Continue Reading →
The Four Suitors by Sophie Jupillat Posey Book Review
Once in a while, I take a gamble with a book that doesn't really look like my type, and then it ends up a fun, fast-paced surprise. Introducing Aelfraed, Durriken, Lancelot, and Blaxton. I mean, The Four Suitors. In the kingdom of Avaritia, the king and queen and especially their daughter are certainly not the... Continue Reading →
Halloween (2018) Movie Review
I'm going to soon be seeing the new Halloween Kills, so I thought it would be proper to finally write a review of the predecessor. I saw this film when it was released, but, well, there's a bit of a reason why it's taken me this long to review. Honestly, the Halloween franchise has tripped... Continue Reading →
Armada by Ernest Cline Book Review
Well, that took significantly longer to read than Ernest Cline's beloved debut. Taking place in the present day rather than 2045, this is the story of Zackary Lightman, a teen from Yawnsville, or Beaverton, Oregon. He spends his days trying to avoid getting his reputation expanded at school as a temper fuelled danger, by trying... Continue Reading →
The Iron Flower by Laurie Forest Book Review
I'm glad I'm only now picking up this series. If I'd started it a year or two earlier, I think I'd be driving myself crazy anticipating the next instalment. Maybe for my own sanity I should lay off from The Shadow Wand for a while. Elloren Gardner's come a long way since her relaxing youth... Continue Reading →
Dear Evan Hansen Book Review
Reading this book three years ago made me say though I haven't seen the musical this work is based on (which is a switch. A book based on a musical instead of the other way around), I may want to dust off my dancing shoes, if I ever had any. Well, in anticipation for the... Continue Reading →
Free Guy (2021) Movie Review
Ryan Reynolds had to grow on me, but he did. And considering the late 2010s seemed to be his big A-list breakthrough, I'm grateful I just reached the age where I became interested in what he generally works with. Reynolds tends to play characters with hilarious aplomb as he survives and laughs his way through... Continue Reading →
Luca (2021) Movie Review
I liked Luca better than Toy Story 4. Let's start it off that way. I'm not a devotee to the original trilogy, but I still just found the movie too big for its britches, having some sweet moments and surprises but relegating too many beloved characters to the side, displaying more than a few moments... Continue Reading →
Hour of the Bees by Lindsay Eagar Book Review
Whenever I'd read this outside, wasps would swarm me. And no one else. Maybe it was the giant bee on the cover giving wasps the impression I may be a person of interest. Caroleena, or Carol, is a twelve year old girl whose family is not broken, but a bit fractured on the sides, and... Continue Reading →
