Update: Life and Books (4/22/18)

Hello, my fellow book peeps! I've been more worn out than usual because I had blood drawn the other week and I also spent a few hours one day (or maybe two?) clearing stuff out of a room, so I haven't been very productive with blogging or reading or creative stuff lately. As for the headaches, I'm getting really frustrated. I'm now thinking maybe it's an herb/spice because those can have...

Book Review: Inheritance (Dominion Book 1) by Lissa Kasey

Between a vampire lover, a fear of commitment, anxiety, bullying (for being the first male witch allowed to take magic classes), possible stalkers, and a controlling mother demanding a granddaughter and willing to do whatever it takes to get one, Seiran has his hands full.

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Ships

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Ships

Fun fact about me: I hate boats. And ships. And canoes. Ok, to be fair, I've never actually been in a canoe, but I'm 99.9% sure I would hate them. I have been on some cruises, and I didn't hate those, but cruises are a special exception because they're basically floating towns with neverending food. Anyway, unless there's ever a zombie apocalypse and the zombies can't swim, I will choose land...

Bookish Musings: Why I Almost Never Give 1-Star Ratings

Bookish Musings: Why I Almost Never Give 1-Star Ratings

Somewhere amidst the various rating crises I've had since I started blogging, I realized that I rarely give 1-star ratings to books. Seriously, out of the 550+ books I've read since I starting rating books, I've only given a 1-star rating to 12 of them. That really doesn't seem like a lot. Then again, maybe that's normal and everyone gives very few 1-star ratings. What do I know? But I thought...

Update: Life and Books (4/8/18)

So, I thought I had figured out the cause for headaches I've been mentioning to you guys for at least a month now, but then they came back despite my avoidance of that food, so I'm still trying to figure that out. Let's see, other than that... I watched one episode of Peaky Blinders. I drew in my sketchbook after months of not feeling well enough to draw, but my sketches were awful. I played the...
