Time travel! Because what could possibly go wrong? I mean, apparently, a lot? But who knew? Sci-fi is a little hit or miss with me, especially when it comes to time travel, because my brain is thiiiis big –> . Therefore, paradoxes make it go boom. And there are aaaalways paradoxes. If I’ve learned anything, […]
As a book dragon, there comes a time in your life or once a season where you look ahead to all the wonderful books coming down the pipe and decide which ones you want to read. Sometimes, things are said, deals are made, and souls are traded. Sometimes. All hypothetically, of course. For those of […]
What’s better than watching anime? Reading a book that reads like an anime! Because reading is fun, kids. I’ve wanted to read Shadow of the Fox since it came out and I learned that it was full of Japanese lore and culture. Mostly because I’m both a simple person and an anime fan, so really, […]
One book is good, but do you know what’s even better? Aside from all the books, because naysayers tell me that’s not possible. That’s right, more than one book.

Normally, I would push through, because I’m not a quitter. We finish what we start, right?! Well, not last […]
I loved Diane Setterfield’s The Thirteenth Tale when I read it as a teenager. Which is impressive because teenagers hate everything. Except angst. That’s what keeps them alive. Speaking from experience here. So when I heard she had a new book coming out finally, I knew I had to read it. It was a long time coming, […]
Because every book deserves a hug, am I right? And someone to gaze lovingly at its cover and fangirl over its characters and stalk the author until they publish another book, even if it’s under duress because they’re chained to a room in your house. I’m pretty sure I have to tell exactly none of […]
Caaaan you feeeeel the loooove tonight? You know, because it’s Valentine’s Day? It just so happens that sometimes love involves stabby things and bodily harm and the occasional threat of death. Or worse. You know, because love is complicated. I may have mentioned before that my expectations for literary romance are … different? I mean, […]
