Review: Coraline
Coraline by Neil Gaiman My rating: 2 of 5 stars “The mist hung like blindness around the house. She walked slowly to the stairs up to her family’s flat, and then stopped and looked around. In the mist, it was a ghost-world.” ARGH. I wish I could say I enjoyed it, it captivated me, it […]

Review: Neverwhere
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman My rating: 4 of 5 stars Gaiman is a master of fantasy…. “‘Young man,’ he said, ‘understand this: there are two Londons. There’s London Above – that’s where you lived – and then there’s London Below – the Underside – inhabited by the people who fell through the cracks in the […]
Famous First Words
A random thought just came to me in the car a short time ago. I think everyone in the world knows the expression “Famous last words,” and that got me thinking, what about famous first words?

Anyway, besides this day being full of so many things to be thankful for, for me it’s always about giving back as well. In relation to this […]
Review: The Clockwork Dynasty
The Clockwork Dynasty by Daniel H. Wilson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Perhaps even humans serve their own Words, too… “The age of a thing is in the feel of it. Secrets are locked in the fingerprints of cracked porcelain and the bloom of rust on metal. You’ve just got to pick up a […]
Explorers
I thought I’d already posted this piece I wrote, but I can’t find it, so here it is: So what if the night sky was pierced with explorers searching for a new home and they climbed the twilights of the sky at the fall of dusk and the sky was pierced with their steady breaths […]
Yearning for YA: Realistic Fiction
So here’s the update on Yearning for YA, as promised. The first genre we covered in my Young Adult Literature course was realistic fiction. While I’m into all types of genres now, realistic fiction is one of the main genres that pulled me into the world of reading growing up. As a kid, I particularly enjoyed Judy […]
Review: Micro God
Micro God by K. R. Martin My rating: 4 of 5 stars “It is only the damned that need fear me. That which is destroyed cannot be restored. That which is mended cannot be maintained.” I was introduced to K.R. Martin through his popular YouTube show The Book was Better. I thoroughly enjoy Martin’s content […]
