Life Update 17 October 2016

Hey Y'all!

Sorry I didn't get out an update on time today or on Friday. Unfortunately, I don't have a book review again this week. I have been super busy with my classes and work! I'm almost done with reading Crooked Kingdom, so hopefully, I'll have a review up for that on either this Monday or the next. It depends on if I finish my book for class first or not!

So this weekend, I got to go home for a short visit with my family! It was so much fun! I got to get a new book case and try making pretzels for a third time! This time, they were much better too!!!

If you couldn't tell, I'm in a good mood this week. Hopefully it will stick for the rest of the week!

I am planning on reading a book called The Cellar by Natasha Preston after I finish Crooked Kingdom! It looks really creepy, so it's a perfect read for October since it's getting closer to Halloween!

So for an update on the blog itself: I still plan on doing at least one post a week some time on Mondays. Hopefully it will always be by 12:00 PST, but if not, I will be sure to get it up some time on Monday! I will hopefully be leaving updates for Fridays for the rest of the blog, but if I don't have a review to post, it will just have to be an update on Mondays!

Well, I think that's it for this update! If I think of anything else, I'll make another post!

XO
Dana

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...
