I don't know about you, but Sense and Sensibility is extremely underrated. It is one of Jane Austen's greatest works that is second only to Pride and Prejudice (which remains my favorite Jane Austen novel). While Pride and Prejudice focused more on the psychological aspects of love and attraction, Sense and Sensibility shows two extremes... Continue Reading →
Review: Corpse Bride is a Tim Burton Masterpiece (Spoilers)
If any of you are familiar with Tim Burton's work, you're probably familiar with his 2005 film Corpse Bride. It's almost everywhere during the Halloween season with costumes and decorations galore and there's tons of fan edits and playlists dedicated to the movie on YouTube. Plenty of people have reacted to it over the years... Continue Reading →
Blog: How To Write a Romantic Villian: Mr. Willoughby vs. Mr. Wickham (Spoilers)
I first became aware of Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility when I watched the movie adaptation start Kate Winslet and only recently started reading the book (review coming soon). While I've been reading the book, one of the things that most stood out to me (and has ever since I read Pride and Prejudice)... Continue Reading →
Review: Happy Jane Austen Festival! Let’s Talk About Clueless (Spoilers)
Unbeknownst to me, Jane Austen is actually celebrated for two weeks out of the year, with the first week being Jane Austen Regency Week, which takes place in late June and the Jane Austen festival which is happening right now until September 22 in Bath, England. Who knew that the Jane Austen fandom was that... Continue Reading →
Review: The How to Train Your Dragon Movies Might Not Have Been Accurate to the Books, But They Are Awesome (Spoilers)
I've been meaning to do a post about How to Train Your Dragon because it was one of those franchises that I absolutely loved as a kid, but never got around to until know. I suppose it's because there are three movies, five spinoff shows/specials, and the book series that it was based off of,... Continue Reading →
Review: I Only Made it Six Books into the Alex Rider Series (Spoilers).
A few years ago, I was given the Alex Rider series after I had asked for it as a Christmas gift. Why did I ask for it? Because it was recommended by Rick Riordan on his website, and I was still going through my Percy Jackson phase and thought that Riordan could do no wrong.... Continue Reading →
Review: Millie Maven and the White Sword Made Me Root for the Bad Guy.
When I finally finished Millie Maven and the Golden Vial, I had to take a weeklong hiatus from reading any more of those books. My brain felt like mush and the entire series just made me angry. It was supposed to have a good story but instead, it felt like Ted and Rachel Dekker paid... Continue Reading →
Review: Things Get Even Dumber in Millie Maven and the Golden Vial (Spoilers).
As the title suggests, if you thought Millie Maven and the Bronze Medallion was a terrible story filled with New Age stupidity, just wait until you read Millie Maven and the Golden Vial, the book that involves children eating worm sludge (a-la Disney's bastardization of Willow), the power of friendship, and finally gives the dumbest...

Review: Millie Maven and the Bronze Medallion was New Age Trash.
Last Christmas, I asked for a series of books that a friend of mine suggested called "The Millie Series". According to Amazon, that series is about a Christian farm girl growing up during the time of the Civil War, having to learn lessons about trusting God while growing up or something. I ended up not... Continue Reading →
Blog: Here’s an Example of a Good Enemies to Lovers Ship: Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet.
I've talked quite a bit on the romance genre recently and while I've given a lot of examples of bad romantic relationships in books and given advice on how to actually write a healthy relationship, I don't think I've really given an example of what a good relationship looks like. To be fair, good relationships... Continue Reading →
