18 November 2016 Life Update

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have all had a great week!

I have been super productive in everything but what I really want to be, to be honest. I have gotten a lot of my classwork done, but I haven't started typing up my edits. Oh yeah!! I finished the written edits for my book! Woo! Super exciting, right?!

I also finished Cress by Marissa Meyer, so the review for that will be coming up soon-ish! Ugh, it was so good! I highly recommend her Lunar Chronicles Series!

The biggest thing that happened this week was about a sale. So on Target.com, there was a sale for the exact KitchenAid mixer that I wanted: a great 5 Quart, Professional 5 Mixer, which is normally $449.99. Now, I know what you're thinking. That's so expensive Dana! But hold on, here comes the sale part! I got it, with tax and shipping, for about half the price! I know right? Super great deal! So it came in the mail on Wednesday, but I can't actually open it until after Cyber Monday just in case that slim shot of there being a better sale happens. I am so impatient, though, so I just want to tear open the package and stare at it for hours. But I have to restrain myself.

Okay, onto other things! I finished my first draft of one of my final papers, so just do at least one more draft and it will be golden. I still have to do two more, and I want those drafts done in the next week and a half or so.

So yeah, super productive week!

That's all for me this time, see you next week!

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...
