This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer. It was a pleasant surprise to open The Butcher Boy and see that I was at least in passing familiar … Continue reading Book Review: The Butcher Boy

This is a review written for my 4th semester of grad school, in which I was asked specifically to focus not only on the book itself, but how you approach the book as a writer. I'm a little daunted to be putting up something about King's book here, but hey--if I'm ever to convince myself … Continue reading Book Review: On Writing
This is an interesting review to write. It's very long coming (since I finished it probably months ago now), and it's not a style of book I've read often, but it's M.C.A. Hogarth, and...well, if you've been around long enough, you know my opinion on her. (If you haven't, it's that I'll read anything Micah … Continue reading Book Review: Spots the Space Marine
So I finally finished this book. (Actually I finished it a while ago, and then Real Life came and bit me in the butt and I didn't write a blog about it, so here we go now.) I'm not doing this as a proper book review, because I'd really like to try and review this … Continue reading Book in Review: A Game of Thrones
Since I have been reminded over and over again by my dear friend and fellow author Patrick Martyn (and several others), I am making a pointed effort to get all the names right here. (Patrick, you better appreciate all of this.) So some time probably in the middle of last month, I started reading the … Continue reading Started Series: A Song of Ice and Fire
So, when this movie first came out, I didn't remember seeing any trailers about it. Suddenly, everyone on my Twitter feed was talking about this amazingly poignant, inspiring, depressing movie that better win an award or something. Other than the fact that it was apparently impressive, and impressively sad, I didn't know anything about it. So … Continue reading Movie Review: “Her”
(I have been waiting for SO LONG to post this review...and it is my DEEPEST pleasure to finally do so. Ah, the pain of an advance reviewer...) [SPOILERS FOR ROSE POINT IN THIS REVIEW. Though if you're reading this before you read Rose Point...?] One might think that after this many, I'd get tired … Continue reading Book Review – Laisrathera
I'm deviating from my norm, and touching into a world that I think is very much overlooked when it comes to story and whatnot: the video game industry. It's easy to look at the wide spectrum and say "oh, well I know why we don't look at it--I mean, look at them. It's all Mario … Continue reading Not Quite a Book Review: Heavy Rain
I'm not entirely certain what I expected to find in Elizabeth Gilbert's novel, The Signature of All Things. It sounds like it should be something philosophical, looking at the world from every perspective and showing how everything is connected. It looks like it should be a treatise of sorts, something deeply profound and worldly. … Continue reading Book Review – The Signature of All Things
After meeting author Stewart O'Nan, I was eager to delve into one of his books. I am a child raised by Pittsburgh-bred parents, having lived most of my childhood within a stone's throw of Chautauqua Institution, and currently live and work near Ithaca, New York. All of these places I share with O'Nan – a … Continue reading Book Review – Emily, Alone
