(As a side note: as of May 1st, my car has--we're fairly certain--completely died. Something has croaked in the engine and for a 17 year old car, I can't afford to replace the engine. The trouble is, neither can I afford a new car. As such, I'm having to crash away from my apartment and … Continue reading Tell Me Why I Should Care About You
Author: R
Twenty-something author who loves telling stories more than anything else.
I received an ARC of this from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Recently I've had an interest for books that take place in space. I've always liked space, be it through stuff like Star Trek/Star Wars, or just my on-going fascination with black holes and stars. (I didn't take Orion as part of … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ADMIRAL by Sean Danker
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I didn't know much about this book from NetGalley's description. The description is incredibly short, and only indicates that it's a YA romance where "a teenage girl falls for the wrong guy." I'll admit that I get easily burnt out on … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SUFFER LOVE by Ashley Herring Blake
Time: Thursday, 6:47 pm We're a fairly common place for meet-ups, I've noticed. It makes sense: we're in a very central location, easy to find, right off the main drag. City Square is a decent sized hub for the Expressway, and between all the restaurants around, we've got good amounts of parking. So I've seen a … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Blind Date
In my on-going challenge to actually read all the books I've bought over my time in the MFA program I studied in, I'm trying to mix them in with all the other books I've gotten. FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING is one of the first books I got at Carlow, after hearing McCafferty speak. After 3 … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty
Names have always been important in my writing. I say time and time again that characters come to me first, and that usually starts with a name. (This does lead to many of my characters having similar names, which is...something I'm working on.) Add into this my time dabbling in Lyn Thorne-Alder's world of Addergoole, … Continue reading What’s In A Name?
Been a while since I did one of Micah's books, isn't it? For a while I was waiting for paper versions of books so that I could add them to my bookshelf, but I got impatient and Maggie could use some uplifting stuff as her job situation changes, so OFF TO THE E-BOOK STORE I … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: SOME THINGS TRANSCEND by M.C.A. Hogarth
Time: Tuesday, 1:15 pm I hate Tuesdays. They are my least favorite day of the week, and always have been. This was a particularly stupid Tuesday. I wasn't feeling well, my guitar had broken two strings on me the night before, my car was likely to need more work on it than I could afford, … Continue reading Tales From the Café: Not My Best Day
At long last. I finally read this book. AT LONG LAST. (Spoilers for books 1-2 under the cut.) There's something a little bittersweet about final books in series. It's the point you've been trying to get to all this time; it's the grand finale where (you hope) all the questions get answered. But at the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE HARVEST by Chuck Wendig
So I took to Twitter the other day and asked all you lovely luminaries out there what you were interested in hearing me talk about here on the blog. My dear friend Sky said "strange and mysterious that you've seen happen." For a long time, I sat staring at my screen, wondering what strange and … Continue reading Strange and Mysterious Happenings
