2 December 2016 Life Update

Hello All!!

I am so sorry I haven't posted an update in a while, but I've actually been pretty busy! I went home last weekend for Thanksgiving break and had a great time visiting with my parents, brother, and puppies! I even went to go see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which I actually really enjoyed.

The biggest thing I have been doing recently is finals! Classes are officially over, but next week starts finals week. Being an English major, however, means I do not have in class finals, just essays. I have officially turned in two out of three, but I still have to finish that third paper. I am hoping to get the first draft done by today so I can edit and have everything done by Sunday! Then the fun begins! (By the fun I mean reading and watching Netflix and baking)

Speaking of reading, this month I have a goal to read sixteen books! I hope I will be able to, but I am making no promises as I still need to work on the typed edits for my book!

Well, I think that's it for this update. I may put my thoughts on Fantastic Beasts in a review slot later, but at the moment, I don't want to collect my thoughts on it!

I hope you all have a fantastic week, and I'll see you back here on Monday for a new review!

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...
