The Writer's LibraryI am a literature geek with a Bachelor's degree in English with a writing concentration. I love to read, and I'm always itching to write, especially creatively. I started "The Writer's Library" in high school, previously working with a Blogger platform before moving over to WordPress. While I mainly post reviews of books, occasionally I will go ahead and review works in other media forms as well, such as music and certain television shows. No matter what I'm doing on here, I love to share with anyone who is willing to listen, and I'm excited to finally be on WordPress!
I often wonder what makes writing for TV shows and movies different from writing stories or poems. Obviously of course there’s something called a screenplay involved, but I’ll be totally honest and admit I don’t understand what that is exactly. You can often tell how good a show or movie’s writing is depending on the […]
The night is calm, but my mind is a racing engine. It is raining fire all around me. You watch me from above, long to take me in your arms and protect me forever, yet the sky is your prison, and you can only watch as I begin this journey. Every step, every footprint feels […]
Wow…. wow. Before I get too carried away, the drill is the same: this review will contain spoilers for the season 4 finale of Sherlock. Spoilers below!Jeez. I didn’t realize that Sherlock’s secret sister could be so psychotic, so evil, so scary. Let’s start from the beginning again.Mycroft is watching a tape in this old building […]
I figured I’d review the latest Sherlock episode The Lying Detective. Because why not? I reviewed the first episode and I feel like I have a lot to say about this more recent one. And that’s a good thing.As usual, spoilers from here on in!Okay. This may have just replaced The Great Game as my […]
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan DoyleMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Oh, if only I had been able to fly through this one in time to finish off the 2016 reading challenge…. You just can’t win them all, can you?I hate to say this, but I really prefer Arthur Conan Doyle novels […]
So I’m going to take a minute and stray from the norm again. This time, I’m going to be reviewing season 4 episode 01 of Sherlock. Just a quick warning to those who haven’t seen the episode yet that this review will contain spoilers, so I recommend you watch the episode if you haven’t seen […]
I’m so crushed. The author of my favorite book, Watership Down, passed away on Christmas Eve 2016. The news was finally released today. Richard George Adams was 96 years old when he passed on. Watership Down remains my favorite story of all time and I can’t believe that the genius behind it is gone. To […]
Or “happy Chanukah,”if you don’t celebrate Christmas like I do.So, it’s 12 a.m. where I am and I’d promised myself I’d do some sort of Christmas post. I’m on a family trip right now and brought a book in case I have trouble sleeping tonight, and I’ll have an update on that eventually, but this […]
The Screwtape Letters by C.S. LewisMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This story is the definition of irony…. At first, I’ll admit, I struggled to understand the story’s aim. It’s not every day you get a story set from the devil’s advocate’s point of view. Screwtape is twisted to the core. I enjoyed the ironic […]
Beyond the Door by Philip K. DickMy rating: 4 of 5 stars And that’s why I will never buy a cuckoo clock….. or piss off a bird…. This was very brief, but I enjoyed it all the same. Basically, the story is of a man who purchases a gift for his wife and gloats about […]
