Hi Everyone! Sorry to do this, but this week got away from me a bit. Rather than rush the book I'm reading which is a disservice to the author, I decided to take a day to finish reading it. It'll give me time to write a more insightful review that is worth reading. I'll have … Continue reading Book Review Delay by a Day
New Year, New Decade
Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year celebration. One of the most talked about subjects regarding the end of this particular year is that it is the end of a decade. Now normally I don’t make too much of a big deal regarding New Years but the decade ending was something … Continue reading New Year, New Decade
Reflection and Break for the Holidays
Hi everyone! I do say Reflection quite a bit I realize. Going on a small break over the holidays. I’m planning on using the time to reflect on my goals and how I approached them this year. There was a lot I had hoped to achieve this year but I got side tracked repeatedly and … Continue reading Reflection and Break for the Holidays
Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
The first book in the series, Skyward by Brandon Sanderson, is one of my favorite books of all time. It was so different from the traditional Young Adult books and dealt with very serious issues of PTSD and emotional scarring. What made it even more impactful were how endearing the characters were and how invested … Continue reading Book Review: Starsight by Brandon Sanderson
Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Lightning Thief
Truth be told, I didn’t know what to really expect when I picked up the Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan. I’m a big mythology fan and I loved spending hours learning more about the history and tales of old mythological sources. This in mind, it felt like Riordan’s books would be a perfect match … Continue reading Book Review: Percy Jackson and The Olympians – The Lightning Thief
Revisiting The Importance Of Self Care
Earlier this week I saw a tweet that took me a bit off guard. One of the artists I follow tweeted about how men shouldn’t have to meet expectations everyone expects of them to have value. The points she had listed were admittedly all things I had thought of as failures in my own life. … Continue reading Revisiting The Importance Of Self Care
Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Loki was always one of the more interesting villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where other various generic villains in the Marvel movies like Malekith (would not be surprised if you had to look that up, I did just to be sure) are rather forgettable, Loki was always a fan favorite. His story is much … Continue reading Book Review: Loki, Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Focus in a World Full of Noise
A great example of how difficult focus can be is how I spent 40 min on YouTube before I actually started writing this article. It can be so hard to concentrate when there are fun and easier alternatives surrounding us. Video games, movies, YouTube, anything can be more enticing as it doesn’t require as much … Continue reading Focus in a World Full of Noise
Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff has been a book on my to-read list for a while now. Reading the book blurb, it was hard not to not to be excited for it. The concept reminded me a lot of a Firefly or Voltron esque story. A crew of misfit characters banding together … Continue reading Book Review: Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Book Review: Gears of War Ascendance by Jason M. Hough
This was a rather odd choice of material to read but I was very curious about how a book based off of a video game would read. Can a story based off of a video game hold the same weight as a story bound only to literature? Different forms of media lend themselves to different … Continue reading Book Review: Gears of War Ascendance by Jason M. Hough
