30 December 2016 Life Update

Hey All!

We made it! It's the last Friday of the 2016! Woo hoo!! I hope you 2017s are kind to you!

Sorry for not posting anything last week, I kinda completely forgot about it. I was a little preoccupied reading and trying to get into the Christmas spirit. (Spoiler, I never really got into the spirit) I am still trying to complete my self appointed reading challenge, but I only have two books left! One of them only has about 160 pages left in it, the other is about 350 pages. I've got this!

Okay, so there may be some changes coming up to the format of the blog again. I may go up to posting more times a week because at the moment, I am all queued up until February and I want you all to get these reviews a bit sooner!

I am also planning on starting a youtube channel! So some of these reviews will not be posted as text, but as a video now! I may actually move over to youtube permanently, but I'm not quite sure yet!

Like I said, I have two more books to read this year, then I will hit 101 books read this year! That is more than I have read before in a single year (that I have recorded). I am probably not going to read that many next year, I haven't decided on a number for my reading challenge for 2017. I'll probably stick to 52 like I did for this year, but I don't know for sure yet.

I hope your holidays have been awesome and I can't wait to see you next year for more reviews!

XOXO

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...
