The notion of 'getting hooked' on a book is alien to me. Sure, there are books that I love and that I'll happily read over and over again, but I've never experience that immediate "OMG, THIS BOOK!!"-feeling that some people seem to have. People talk about great opening lines and great first pages, and I... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Angel (Monster of Earth #2) by Patrick F. Johnson
This book follows on from Frank Ford's adventures, after he's been appointed by an alien race to be the custodian of Earth. (You can find my review of book 1 here if you want to get caught up.) In the second book, our focus is taken away from Earth and onto other exciting planets. The... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Fate Unknown by Michelle Burden
The premise is simple: psychic woman helps police detective solve crime. It sounds a bit stereotypical when I put it like that, but the way it's executed is fascinating. Ann Marcus is our main character. She wasn't born with that last name, that was one she took as she got older. She took it after... Continue Reading →

NaNoWriMo, December and Finishing a Book
We're well into December, I know I'm late, but I wanted to wrap up how I did for NaNoWriMo and what I'm focusing on now that it's all over. First of all, I didn't "win". To win NaNoWriMo, you have to write 50.000 words, which for some reason is a novel to them. Well, I... Continue Reading →
NaNoWriMo Update & Doing New Things!
Let's just rip the band-aid off quickly, shall we? I haven't written nearly enough for my NaNoWriMo project this year. Considering it's already the 14th, and I've barely scratched the bottom of 12.000 words, I'm not hopeful about "winning". Last year, I did it all in a week, and though I wasn't planning on doing...
