But nonetheless, here I belatedly am to tell you about the five magnificent books that I read last month! I think at this point in the year it's safe to … Continue reading Monthly Wrap-Up! || October 2018

I was almost hesitant to write this post because of how many books I ended up buying / requesting last month when I did this - * uneasy laughter in the distance*. So I'm hoping that as I write this post today I show some self-control and say, you know what, I think I have … Continue reading Books to Buy This Month!! || November 2018 Book Releases
Villains are all well and good but nothing tickles my fancy more than an original monster for our heroes to fight off.

Nothing beats an adorable abomination. I positively cackle with delight when an author throws me a character who sits happily in the grey area - the area of the CONFUSED FEELINGS - the space between good and evil but also mostly in evil.
