  • I have been avoiding WordPress out of guilt. My health hasn’t been great, so a good portion of my days are spent dedicated to getting through work and normal things. Blog posts have, unfortunately, slipped in importance on my list. But time to rectify that! Below is a collection of six reviews of the books and…

  • I’ve been doing a little bit of research, which in my vast medical experience [re:none] means I am doing the next best thing: screaming into the internet abyss.* Since this blog hits all of my social media accounts, consider this a super lazy post. Any fellow Wegener’s Granulomatosis/GPA patients gone from Rituxan/Rituximab back to Imuran or methotrexate?…

  • Oh man. I cannot tell you how worried I was for this book. Sequels are always a strange thing that can either take a series and elevate it, completely ruin it, or be completely stagnant. And as slow of a start as A Darker Shade of Magic was, I was super nervous. But also, really excited…

  • I, like so many others it seems, it a really bad book slump this month! I blame Rainbow Rowell for this, as Fangirl was just too damn good. I did start a few, and I picked up a bit as the month came closer to an end and A Gathering of Shadows came out. (If you are…

  • Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s pic seems to be a bit vague, a combination of book and music. Since I can read with almost anything on — I can block out noises and make it white noise (no seriously, I read on the subway with…

  • Mid-Month Updates, ICYMI

    I think I am having the best February ever, and now I shall knock on wood to keep from jinxing myself. Especially as I am driving tomorrow for the first time since I moved to Brooklyn. I am not reading much at all right now — Fangirl kind of ruined me for a little while. I…

  • I wouldn’t expect too many video game reviews from me, as I don’t tend to play newish games (the last games I bought were The Order and Batman‘s latest game…and I have barely played Dragon Age.) But I did finish the newest Assassin’s Creed this past weekend instead of watching the Super Bowl. More specifically, I finished the…

  • Top Ten Tuesdays: OTP

    I am (almost cliché-ingly) anti-Valentine’s Day. In middle school I would wear an anti-Valentine’s Day outfit (primarily black…I was a weird kid), but would also get a little something for my friends. I think I’ve only had a date once on Valentine’s Day, and that was my senior year of high school. I also remember…

  • With my editing project and the blizzard that hit in January, I didn’t have a chance to get out and go hiking more than once last month. I actually debated not going out today as it is a bit chilly still, and I wasn’t entirely up for leaving the city. Still, I knew that a…

  • How Do You Get On The New York Times Best-Seller List?

    Originally posted on 101 Books: Short answer: Who the [bleep] knows. Long answer: It seems obvious, right? The book was a best-seller, meaning it sold more than all the other books that weren’t on said best-seller list, correct? Well, maybe. Publishing insider Tim Grahl recently posted an article that outlines the eternal mystery of landing a…
