Cut to Macro and Cato, soldiers in the Roman army, busy trying to conquer Britannia.... Continue Reading →

New Year, Same Opportunities!
I got to say, I hate the holidays. I always think I'll have more time, to write, to read, to do stuff in general and it never fails to backfire. I should know this by now, but I keep forgetting every year. This time, I feel like it's taken me particularly long to get back... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Power of Body Language By Joe Navarro
Very unusual from what I usually read, this isn't fiction at all. Joe Navarro is a former FBI specialist, who knows how to read people. I was recommended this book by a colleague who said I'd probably find it interesting (which I did, not gonna lie), and I got it since it was on Audible.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Force by Don Winslow

Takes care of those he needs to take care of. Comes down on those who don't play by his rules, and he comes down... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Tower of the Swallow by Andrzej Sapkowski
We're back at it, reading our favorite fantasy series in ages, and it just gets better and better. It's all coming together now.

Book Review: Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King
Finally made my way through another King book, and let me just say this: It's better than 'Carrie'. I really like King. It's difficult to say why. He has a way of making every word count, and though that's not to say he has an incredible tendency to ramble on for pages upon pages, he... Continue Reading →
Book review: Once Upon A Death by Dzintra Sullivan

And he's going to need a place to settle down. Accompanied by his trusty goblin sidekick, Kaah does the best he can trying... Continue Reading →
Getting Ready For NaNoWriMo
I'm back! Alright, fair enough I never left, but I'm saying that because life's been super busy recently. I was on a roll this summer, reading books left and right and posting lots of awesome stuff on here. Then... life happened I guess. Since September, I haven't really been reading much. Luckily, I've still been... Continue Reading →
