Almost anywhere else in the world, the Sun would have been up by now. There was a lot of dark, a lot of snow, and a lot of nothing in most of Alaska. Cedar Mongoyak was not a fan. She had reasons for leaving all of this behind. But she […]

Kestra Books
I asked myself this question just over a year ago. At the time, I said yes. Now I say no. Why the change of heart? Let’s start with the reasons why I said yes a year ago. A pen name can be VERY helpful in defining a brand. When I […]

Stag and Roses
Sometimes you gotta do art for your own sanity. That's probably the biggest reason why I draw. Drawing chills me out. It's great for anxiety--except for when it comes to digital art. I don't know if I just have a mental block or what, but drawing digitally is not relaxing […]

Baby Driver Blu-ray
★★★★★ 5/5 I'm lucky my sister told me about Baby Driver because I did not see a single preview of it. It was a pretty funny introduction though. She had seen it with our grandma and loved it so much that she told me we had to go see it […]

The Knife of Never Letting Go
★★★★★ 5/5 Obsessed with sci-fi, dystopian fiction, inhabiting new planets, aliens, the Wild West, and reading the minds of every living creature? Yes? Good.

Hero of Thera
★★★★★ 5/5 LitRPGs! I've read a couple by this point and so far they've all been really solid. Lucky me! Now, Eric Nylund is the name I look for when I'm reading Halo novels. From the ones I've read, he writes my favorite. I just love this man's writing. He […]

Stranger Things
★★★★★ 5/5 Stranger Things, right? Everyone is watching it. It sure seems to be talked about a lot, and it got a second season. That means it's popular. I came across the first season on accident when it was brand new. I was hanging out with a friend, browsing Netflix, […]

★★★★★ 5/5 There are few authors who make me feel things deeply enough to cry. For that alone, these authors earn a place in my favorites. To be clear, there are a lot of good authors that make me feel and experience the story they wrote internally, but that's as […]
