What’s Coming Next

Yeah, it's another week with no book review. Sorry!! I don't have a great excuse, other than the last book I read is getting a review posted later this month so that it can keep close to the publication date, and I've been feeling busier than usual. But I figured we could talk about some … Continue reading What’s Coming Next

What You See and What You Get

I'm not positive, but I feel like I've probably mentioned the video game UNDERTALE on this blog before. (Almost put "channel." Can you tell I'm on YouTube too much?) It's an amazing game with some of the best cause-and-effect mechanics I've ever seen in a video game. But more than that, I've always been impressed … Continue reading What You See and What You Get

Tales from the Café: Are You Sure?

Time: Wednesday, 1:15 pm. I've gotten my fair share of bizarre requests in my time working, both here and at other customer service places where I've been employed. I've had odd food questions, I've had seating requests that don't make sense, I've had complaints and compliments and all kinds of oddness. Most of it doesn't … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Are You Sure?

BOOK REVIEW: AMULET RAMPANT by M.C.A. Hogarth

Yup, it's everyone's favorite time again: time for Rion reviewing one of Micah's books. Now, for the observant reader, you'll remember my review of SOME THINGS TRANSCEND, the second book in the Princes' Game series. This is book 3, and one I was a bit concerned about. I had some reservations about TRANSCEND, and I … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: AMULET RAMPANT by M.C.A. Hogarth

Nothing is Forever

I think everyone knows, whether it be in real life or in a book, that one couple you think is completely unshakable. They've been through hell and back, and they still seem made for each other. It's Buttercup and Westley's story: "This is true love - you think this happens every day?" It's what Romeo … Continue reading Nothing is Forever

BOOK REVIEW: WITH MALICE by Eileen Cook

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. Jill Charron wakes up in a hospital bed, very incapacitated and very confused. The past six weeks of her life have been completely erased from her mind - including a trip out of the country, the death of her best … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: WITH MALICE by Eileen Cook

Tales from the Café: Squeaky Clean

Time: Monday, 2:16 pm I rubbed at my eyes, enjoying the brief respite from the lunch rush. The rushes had been getting later and later as time went on, so despite the fact that normally we'd be done with the busy part of the day by now, I wasn't taking my chances. The second I … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Squeaky Clean

On Reading and Reviewing Books

I know, I know. This isn't a book review like I've promised. The honest fact of the matter is that I haven't gotten through a book in time for today. (Okay, that's not entirely true, but the book I did read recently is an ARC and the review doesn't go up for a while now. … Continue reading On Reading and Reviewing Books

Five A.M., Waking Up in the Morning

(I hate myself for using that paraphrased lyrics. I hate myself.) Motivation is one of those words that gets thrown around for a multitude of reasons. It's what drives the marathon runner. It's what keeps the scholarship student's grades up. It's what we all hear that our characters all need in order to make for … Continue reading Five A.M., Waking Up in the Morning

BOOK REVIEW: THE REAPER by Stephanie Erickson

...What, you really expected me to read some other book next? NOT WHEN THE HUMAN IS COMING OUT TOMORROW, MY FRIENDS. I MUST BE PREPARED. *coughs* But in all honesty, after the cliffhanger of THE FATE, there really wasn't anything else I wanted to read more than this. We take the reins behind Michaela, the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE REAPER by Stephanie Erickson
