I received a copy of this story through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I had absolutely no idea of what to expect when confronted with this story. It sounded interesting, so I requested it and it found its way to my Kindle. The description gives away very little (including not telling me something … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: MIRRORED HEARTS by Emily Sheppard

I was provided a copy of this book by the author at no cost, in exchange for my honest review. It's been a while since I read anything that primarily features LGBT characters. I'm not sure if that speaks to my choice in books or just how isolated my current collection is, but when Zakian … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ASHBY HOLLER by Jamie Zakian
I saw a sentiment on Twitter the other day, talking about a friend of mine. We have very different stories, but at our core there's a lot we share in common. But the sentiment (from a friend of theirs) was this: "She always looked so desperate and sad. Now they look happier." This was in … Continue reading Mirror Into the Past

As with too much of the rest of the country, I have a strange fascination with tragedy and why it happens, so a book about a school shooting is right up my alley. (Particularly … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THIS IS WHERE IT ENDS by Marieke Nijkamp

What I'm really tired of are the militant positions on either side, dealing in … Continue reading Why I Need Feminism…or something. (Am I Doing This Right?)
As you all may have noticed, I've really pretty much gone completely dark. I've been trying to keep up with something--anything--and it just hasn't worked out. So here's what's happened since the beginning of the year: Moved into my own apartment. This has been awesome in some days and decidedly not cool in others. I've … Continue reading Update on the State of the Rion
