Rant – Why is diversity still so controversial?

I was having trouble finding an appropriate picture so I went with this stack of books. Listen, I have several blog posts I could write about this, but today’s post was inspired by a TikTok I was watching about the new Marvel movie. I’m not a huge Marvel fan though I do really like super…

Do the Majority of People Not Read for Fun?

So one of my side gigs is pet sitting which means I spend a lot of time in a lot of different houses. One of the things I’ve noticed is that not a lot of people have bookshelves. If they do have books, it’s books for decoration or coffee table books. If I’m lucky, I’ll…

How Reading Helps my Anxiety.

Reading by candlelight After taking someone a hiatus from reading, I recently got back into it again. This year was a wild ride for me and HOPEFULLY will continue to be on a positive upswing (now if we could ever get Covid under control that would be great). Part of the reasons I got back…

Classes I Wished my English Major Offered in College.

Girl writing in notebook So I technically only have an English minor and not a major, but this is one of the specific reasons why I didn’t major in English. When I first was looking around at what to do for college, I was convinced that I was going to do English and or Creative…

Why I Blog more than just Book Reviews.

Photo by Eli Sommer on Pexels.com I saw this tag a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a fun topic to talk about. As my bio states, I'm actually a science fiction and fantasy author other than just a book reviewer. Although I really enjoy reading and reviewing books, I also wanted a…

Hi everyone, I’m back with more thoughts. To start this off, you can read my previous thoughts about the first two episodes before reading these ones. There will be spoilers in here so I suggest if you haven’t watched these to stop reading here. Or if you haven’t read the books yet. I will say…
