Hey All!!

So, in case you did not notice this week, I am updating with reviews more regularly! Since I have a longer queue, I am going back up to posting a review on Monday AND Wednesday with the updates of Fridays! Woo!!

Okay, so I am challenging myself to try to read sixteen books this month and so far, I have read one and three quarters. I am sure I will get it done, I just have to sit down and do it!

The book I am currently reading is Winter by Marissa Meyer. I am in love with this series, mainly because of the characteristics of the women (thank you bad ass women figures) so if you have not read it yet, check it out! I have reviews posted already for three of the books, and my review for Fairest will be up soon!

Other books on my to read list include: Stars Above, Shards & Ashes, The Wyrd Sisters, Shakespeare by Another Name (keeping some scholarly books in there), Blood and Salt, The Crown's Game, A Wicked Thing, Vanishing Girls, Reign of Shadows, Heartless, My Lady Jane, A Madness So Discreet, These Shallow Graves, and The Cellar! Woo, that's a lot of books!

I am also trying to get my first round of edits typed while working and going home, so this month is going to be busy, even though I am on Winter break!

Yes, you read that right, I am finished with my last Fall Quarter of college! Only about seven months until I graduate and have to go out into the real world!

Well, I think that's about it for this update, I will keep you  posted on any fun things that may happen next time!

XO

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...
