Review – Tooli-Art Acrylic Paint Pens
It’s been a hot minute since I last did an art supply review, so I figured my new paint pens would be the perfect transition back into this kind of post. Before we officially begin, I’d just like to say this isn’t a sponsored post. All products mentioned below were purchased by me or my…

Why Does Fandom Forget Ron Weasley?
These are the kinds of questions flitting about in my brain when I’m awake at 3am. Riveting stuff, am I right? Do note that this post contains major spoilers, and is basically one long opinionated ranty rant. Anyway. The backstory. I don’t really read a lot of fanfiction, except if it concerns Dragon Age. And…

The Book was Better – My Thoughts on Adaptations
I recently reread the Harry Potter series, and watched the movies available on Netflix at the time (from The Goblet of Fire and on). Of course this started a debate. Wherever I expressed my love for the series, people from ‘the books were better’ camp collided with people from ‘the movies were great’ camp. The…

Hello 2020
New year, new decade, new opportunities. How lucky am I to be able to write that statement? I won’t lie, 2019 was tough. Full of head-in-hands moments. Times when loved ones were critically sick and in the hospital–loved ones at the peak of their health. Kids. The worry associated with a sickbed is never easy.…

Book Review – Furyborn
Furyborn by Claire Legrand was one of those random books I picked from the library, based solely on its cover (and what a cover it is). I wasn’t disappointed. Lovers of YA and Sarah J. Maas’s writing style will probably adore this book. It’s action-packed features female characters who take no prisoners, and a delicious…

My Thoughts – Carmen Sandiego
Folks, I grew up chasing Carmen Sandiego and Co. across the pixelated globe on the screen of our very first computer. I remember the sounds, the graphics, the sheer excitement when we managed to catch someone. We played this game so often that we needed only a single clue to know where to go next,…

Review – Shadow & Bone Trilogy
I’d never heard of Tsarpunk before a friend recommended this series and asked me if I’d ever heard of Tsarpunk. Which I hadn’t. 🙂 Now that I have, I’m glad to know the term. There will be spoilers in this post. This is your stop here warning if you’d like to read these books spoiler…

Book Review – Twelve Kings in Sharakhai
I picked up this book in hardcover for $7–what a steal. I’d never heard of Bradley P. Beaulieu before this, but I’m really glad a book on sale introduced me to his work. Twelve Kings in Sharakhai is the first instalment in The Song of Shattered Sands trilogy. The story is set in the desert,…

My Thoughts – A Court of Thorns & Roses Trilogy
It’s been a long while since I devoured books like I devoured these ones. The series has been recommended to me a few times, but I never got around to reading them. Last week, Amazon had a special. And, well. Here we are. It doesn’t hurt that this series is New Adult (it certainly isn’t…
