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...

Blog: OG Stories of My Childhood: The Spotlight Chapters 9 and 10

Finally, after several weeks of posting about the first novel I ever wrote, we've reached the end of this adventure. Will there be more OG Stories on the way? I have no idea. If I can find any more, I'll post about them, but more likely than not, the OG Stories may be going on... Continue Reading →

News: If You Don’t Think That There’s a Gay Agenda in Your Kids’ Books, Think Again.

I know that in yesterday's post, I said I would do more content on the God-awful Millie Maven trilogy, but that has been put on hiatus for the time being because there's something more important to talk about than Millie Maven. Yesterday, me and my mom were doing a mother-daughter day and decided to go... Continue Reading →

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: OG Stories of my Childhood: The Spotlight Chapter 8

Well...I'm back. You may be thinking, "M.J. where have you been for the past two weeks? Your last post was on July 4th. What happened?" My answer is that life happened. Unfortunately, some stuff popped up that prevented me from writing anything, but I'm back now to bring you some more cringe in the form... Continue Reading →

Blog: OG Stories of My Childhood: The Spotlight Chapter 7.

Because today's July 4th (happy Independance Day to all my fellow Americans), I will only torture you with one, much shorter chapter of The Spotlight. For those of you who haven't read the earlier installments of this series, Rebeca is an aspiring fashion designer/model who was employed as an actress but was fired after the... 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 →

Mythology: Hel is Hella Overrated

No, I'm not talking about that Hell. I'm talking about Hel (also known as Hella), the Norse Goddess of the Underworld and one of the most misunderstood characters in the Norse Pantheon. The reason for this is because I've been watching the show Runes on Bentkey now that the season is over and unfortunately, she's... Continue Reading →

Review: The Pendragon Cycle Was Interesting (Spoilers)

For the past six months, I've been reading The Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead in a mad frenzy punctuated by weeklong breaks to try to finish the series before the Dailywire+ adaptation comes out sometime this year. Now that I've finished it and can finally give my take on the series as a whole... Continue Reading →
