28 October 2016 Life Update

Hey guys!

I did it! I finally have read enough books for a queue again! Woo hoo! So, yes, three of the books I have scheduled for reviews are for class, but it's fine! I finally finished Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo, so that review will be coming up soon!

I have been doing a lot of baking as well, so I may post some reviews of those recipes and some of the pictures I took, but I'll have to think about it some. I am taking a slight break from baking because it is getting quite expensive, which is not kind to my wallet.

In school, I am about half way done with my last fall quarter! It just hit me recently that I am going to be graduating and going out into the real world! (Slightly freaking out, but it's okay, just breathe, right?) I have a midterm coming up on Wednesday, so, again, deep breaths.

Life has been going pretty well in general. I'm having fun at school, work is going well, I get to read and (hopefully) write more.

Oh! Speaking of writing! So instead of doing the traditional NaNoWriMo this year, I am going to put a little curve on it! I am finally going to sit my ass down and edit the book I wrote last year for NaNo! I am really excited and I can't wait to get it one step closer to being a completed novel!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Halloween! Stay safe out there!!

XO

Hey Guys

It's been a while, right? I'm just giving you a quick update! Life has been super hectic so I haven't really gotten around to doing much creatively, unfortunately. But, good news! I am going to try to schedule more time in for writing both for here and for my own fiction works. Let me know if you would want to read any snippets of those! I think that's all for now! XOXO Dana

Dreams of Gods and Monsters Review

Image
Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor (613 pages) My Rating: 3.5 Stars Date Read: 14 July 2016 Synopsis: By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her, if there can even be a future for the chimaera in war-ravaged Eretz. Common enemy, common cause. When Jael's brutal seraph army trespasses into the human world, the unthinkable becomes essential, and Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves. Toward a new way of living, and maybe even love. But there are bigger threats than Jael in the offing. A vicious queen is hunting Akiva, and, in the skies of Eretz ... something is happening. Massive stains are spreading like bruises from horizon to horizon; the great winged stor...

Saga Vol 3 Review

Image
Saga Vol 3 by My Rating: 4 Stars Date Read: 20 November 2016 Synopsis: From the Hugo Award-winning duo of Brian K. Vaughan (The Private Eye, Y: The Last Man) and Fiona Staples (North 40, Red Sonja), Saga is the sweeping tale of one young family fighting to find their place in the universe. Searching for their literary hero, new parents Marko and Alana travel to a cosmic lighthouse on the planet Quietus, while the couple's multiple pursuers finally close in on their targets. Collects issues 13-18. My Review: Out of the three volumes I have read of this, I think this one is my least favorite. That being said, it's still amazing. The characters are getting more complex, there are more characters, in general, to learn about, and more story lines to follow. I really enjoyed meeting the author. He was a super chill guy. Until that thing happened. Honestly, Marco's mom just can't catch a break, can she? That was a rough three weeks for her. I'm keepin...
