A writing and reading rant today since this both annoyed me as a reader but made me think about how I could avoid this as a writer. I’m going to start off vague so as not to spoil a recently released best-selling fantasy series. I recently saw a video review of a widely-wanted scene fromContinue reading “Writing and Reading Ranting – What’s the Point if You Don’t Follow Through?”

Writing Ranting – Why Do I Write? Part Two!
In my previous post, I mentioned a forum post on a writing website where a struggling writer was overwhelmed with their writing projects and hated their job. Firstly, I get it. I’ve had crappy jobs in the past that suck all my energy so I don’t feel like writing after a long and shitty day.Continue reading “Writing Ranting – Why Do I Write? Part Two!”
Writing Ranting – Why Do I Write? Part One!
Because I can’t imagine not writing, and if you ask yourself this too off, then something isn’t right.That doesn’t mean you should stop writing. But maybe it’s time to evaluate how writing fits into your life. In this post and the next, I’m going to be breaking down two of the most important things aContinue reading “Writing Ranting – Why Do I Write? Part One!”

I’m going to start with non-spoiler thoughts on the entire series then dip into each book. Generally, I loved theContinue reading “Book Review – Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas – 4 stars”
Book Review – Caraval by Stephanie Garber – 5 stars
Warning: May contain spoilers, but opening comments are spoiler-free. Check out my Reading Ranting page for more. Wow. This book swept me far, far away just like Legend’s game. It has a circus feel to it with quirky characters and strange goings-on that remind me a little of Sorcery of Thorns and The Discworld series. Continue reading “Book Review – Caraval by Stephanie Garber – 5 stars”
Book Review – House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas – 4.5 stars
Warning: Review contains minor spoilers. Opening comments are spoiler-free. The ending was 5 stars, but the whole book loses points for what felt like a long haul for the first 500 pages. Worth it though. In book 1, Bryce and Hunt survived a demon attack on the city, ark angels manipulating them, and discovering herContinue reading “Book Review – House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J.
