There's lots of fun, quirky, and geeky stuff out there. I write about it.
Now that I have a bit more free time on my hands I’ve reinvigorated my interest in reading novels, and I came across a great series by accident. I wandered into a cute independent book store near my office, Magic City Books. Since I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, I just picked up random […]
Read More Enter SandmanI know. I’m a bad blogger. Lately I’ve kind of become a bit of a hermit, but all that’s changing. I’ve missed you guys! My hermit status has been good for quite a bit of reading, so this will be the first of several new book reviews. Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom […]
Read More Miss Peregrin’s Home for Peculiar ChildrenMark Haddon’s novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of the few books that I would put on a “must read” list for everyone.

Insurgent, the sequel to Divergent, was just as riveting as I hoped, and waiting until October for all that I’m sure will be waiting in Allegiant is going to be torture. This book dives deeper into the fault lines of the characters, […]
Read More InsurgentDivergent by Veronica Roth Apparently, I’m on a young adult book kick. Really, it just seems like a lot of really great books are coming out of the YA section lately.

Read More Young-Adult at heart! This week’s review: Divergent by Veronica RothFrost Burned Ahhhh! This post is so late, truthfully I totally forgot what day today was…is…wait, what’s today? If I had to pay out a dollar for every time I had to ask someone that question today, I would have bought someone’s lunch today…maybe more than one, if they were cheap. Well, better late than […]
