As you guys know, I'm a writer. I write all the posts for this blog, and I just finished my fourth book. Do I know when any of my books will be coming out? No, because editing, self-publishing, and copyrighting takes forever. However, since I only have one more book to go before the series... Continue Reading →
Recently, I ran across a channel on YouTube run by a woman named Elizabeth Wheatley and for those of you who haven't watched any of her videos, she's a fantasy/romance author who penned the Dandreth's Assassin series and generally makes videos promoting her book and talking about the genre she's in.

Reddit forums galore have been created centering around him, ranging from having well-thought-out arguments in the form of memes and comments defending/condemning his actions to having a...

When I was around the ages of 7-10, I had a cousin who was absolutely obsessed with the Twilight franchise.

My mom agreed after a while and I remember very clearly being 10-years-old... Continue Reading →

I first read Coraline by Neil Gaiman in the spring of 2020 because I had seen the movie a million times and thought to myself "Hold up. It's a book?! Well, guess what I'm doing today." From then on, I have watched pretty much every theory about Coraline on YouTube that there is and the... Continue Reading →
Happy Day-Before-Halloween, tanukis! As you've seen in the title, this review is about Tolkien's epic romance, Beren and Luthien, which may seem like a strange choice for those who haven't read it for a (sorta) Halloween post, but don't worry.
