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...

The Modern Fairy Tale: Adaptations and Retellings

Image
Hey everyone! Welcome to the new year! This year I am going to try to incorporate themes into my weekly posts for every month. So let's see how well that goes, shall we? To get us started, let's get in the mindset of fairy tales.   If you are like me, you love fairy tales. They were told to you when you were growing up, turned into awesome animated films, and probably taught you lessons about right and wrong, right? Well, same with me. Most people grow up on the Disney versions of these stories. They are often filled with happily ever afters, the villains getting their just desserts (killed-they get killed), and some variant of the animal side kick being embarrassed at the new couple kissing at the end of the film. But the original tales were a lot darker. Most of them had very heavy themes throughout and very graphic violence for being something to share with children. And that was the point, back when these were first circulated. They were to scare children into...
