Things are a-changing around here. You may have noticed that my blog's name changed. I'm streamlining things and trying to get a little more focus on me myself and I. So this blog will no longer just be about books and publishing. I'll be putting more on here about me, what I'm up to, and trying to curate more of a presence on here.



So, I'll be back soon with more!

[Monday Me-Time]: New Year, New...Something.

Image
It's been a while, and I've been meaning to post here, but for one reason or another it just hasn't been happening. So I'm going to try to do better this year. I figure why not kick of the new year with something personal. I went back to work last week after my holiday break. Unfortunately I caught a cold and had to take a sick day today. I got a LOT accomplished over the break. Mostly cleaning. I've taken pictures because it was a hell of a process. The way my room looked before was just...it was the physical embodiment of depression. Simple as that. It's not perfectly clean now, but I can get to my drawers and wardrobe, I've given away two bags of clothes for Goodwill, with I'd say at least two more to come.  I've made a lot of plans about how to redo my room, including buying a full-sized loft bed with a desk underneath. That's a little ways off, but knowing it's in the works is doing a lot to brighten my outlook. I got a new stan...

[Book Review]: SHADOW SHAPER by Daniel José Older (Arthur A. Levine Books)

I'm really far behind on my reviews, folks, and I'm sorry about that. I've read more than this over the past few months, but I haven't had the desire to review them all. But I did want to review one of my favorite books so far this year and I have a backlog that will be coming over the next few days. SHADOWSHAPER by Daniel José Older Blurb : Cassandra Clare meets Caribbean legend in SHADOWSHAPER, an action-packed urban fantasy from a bold new talent. Sierra Santiago was looking forward to a fun summer of making art, hanging out with her friends, and skating around Brooklyn. But then a weird zombie guy crashes the first party of the season.

[Book Review]: EVERY HEART A DOORWAY by Seanan McGuire (Tor.com)

Time for another book review! I'll be trying to do these on weekends, especially when I've finished a book that I really want to talk about. And I really want to talk about Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire. EVERY HEART A DOORWAY by Seanan McGuire I have been a Seanan Fan for a few years now. I picked up the first in her October Daye series when I got sick of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files (for many reasons I chose to stop reading it), and found that Seanan's series delivered exactly what I'd wanted from Butcher's. I picked up more and more of her work, increasingly please by what I read. I have a lot of Feels about Seanan's work, and was super excited to pick up Every Heart a Doorway.
