I 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!

Review: The Man in the High Castle
The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. DickMy rating: 1 of 5 stars I couldn’t…. I just couldn’t with this one. Honestly, I was just so incredibly bored with it. The Nazis have effectively won WWII and the world is in the grips of tyrannical dictatorship…. or, at least, I thought it would […]

I felt so proud, so overjoyed, to have finished the first and most critical step of this project. Now I’m finished playing […]

Review: Stranger to the Ground
Stranger to the Ground by Richard BachMy rating: 2 of 5 stars I can’t believe I’m DNF’ing this. I usually love Richard Bach. But this was not his best. Really, it wasn’t. This story follows Dick as he joins the Air Force in a “lonely duel with death”. Yes, that is what the synopsis said. […]

Watership Down 2017 Remake

The Thing with Adapting Stories
So I’m sitting here in a restaurant and thinking about Watership Down and how beautiful its cover is. This is reminding me of the 2011 Lifeline theatre production of the novel. I wish I could have seen it, because I heard it was good. Seeing it on stage is something on my bucket list after […]

Review: Titanic
Titanic by Filson YoungMy rating: 4 of 5 stars They said she was unsinkable. They said she was paradise. She turned out to be a fool’s paradise.I’ll admit that the only reason that I read this book was because my favorite singer is releasing his own “film scores” based on historical events, and the sinking […]
