I am a long standing fan of the podcast of Welcome to Night Vale. I've been to a live show, I've cosplayed as Cecil for Halloween, my car's license plate reads WTNVCR for Welcome to Night Vale Community Radio. I have a Night Vale NRA bumper sticker. When I heard that they were planning a … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE by Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor
Author: R
Twenty-something author who loves telling stories more than anything else.
(Man, that sounds like an awesome short story or something. Anyway.) I seem to have a curse laid upon me when it comes to obtaining books. I seem to have brought it upon myself, way back in high school, unknowingly. It began with an author I have come to love dearly, and am glad of … Continue reading Curse of the Third Book
I've never considered myself much of a romance novel reader. In my head, they have a tendency to be formulaic, tedious, and unbelievable. Couple meets, falls for each other, sex happens way too fast, someone does something stupid, they hate each other, and by the end all is back to happy sex again. While other … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Just Say Yes by Elizabeth Hayley
I'm generally not a fan of that phrase--"new year, new me"--because to me, it claims that something about the "old" you was bad. There's nothing wrong with the "me" I was back in 2015; I just know that I could be better. So rather than being a "new me," I'm hoping to just be a "better … Continue reading New Year, New Me?
There are two kinds of books, when it comes to characters staying with you after the final page: the ones who wrap themselves so deeply into your brain you'd swear that just for a moment, they were real...and the ones who are stuck there as your brain keeps trying desperately to figure out what the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: DIVIDED by Sharon M. Johnston
Hey guys...*slinks in* Sorry for the massive silence! I'm hoping to have a video up sometime in the next few days as well around my work schedule, but I totally allowed my work to eat me alive. In October I started working at a café, and I haven't worked a job with those kind of … Continue reading Heeeeeey!
So NaNoWriMo is over, and our TGIO party is tomorrow. It's always a bit of a bittersweet feeling, coming to the end of November. This was a more difficult one than usual, as I mentioned at the beginning of the month. (Just before? I can't remember anymore.) As usual, I always think that knowing the … Continue reading NaNoWriMo Recap and Future Plans
So NaNoWriMo is coming. (I had to.) But in all seriousness. If you've been following my blog for any stretch of time, you know that NaNo is a big deal for me. Attempted every year since 2006, completed every year since 2008. This will be my 4th year as an ML - the municipal liaison … Continue reading The Question of Inspiration and NaNoWriMo
Hey look! A blog post that isn't a book review! I know, it's amazing, isn't it? It's been a very interesting journey lately in the life of Rion. As you may have seen, I haven't exactly been living up to what I'd wanted to. I haven't finished the prompts I promised for my September call. … Continue reading Looking Toward the Future
Tony Noland was one of those authors who kept showing up as a retweet in my Twitter stream. I had no clue who he was or what he was talking about, but it became apparent fairly quickly that he was an author, and one with a sharp sense of humor to boot. I bought his … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: Verbosity’s Vengeance by Tony Noland
