I know that many folks aren’t fans of ratings. How can you determine from someone’s rating if the book will be good or not? While I do tend to avoid ratings, I can’t help but notice them. Since rating systems are pretty subjective (and let’s be honest, reviews are subjective as well), I thought I…

Since this is the year I finally start to read graphic novels and manga on the regular, I thought I would give you a rundown of my experience with anime thus far. While I’ve watched anime since I was 13 years old, I never read the manga. It wasn’t hard to come by, but as…

Another year and another 52 Tuesdays publishing some of the most highly anticipated and quite exciting books of the year. This year will be the same as last year where I’ll take a minute to look over the top 200 books people are excited to be publishing and choose what I’ll be hyping up. This…

Wow, I think we’ve hit the major meaty parts of this book. This third section of the book was probably the most packed with a ton of reveals, a ton of twists and turns, and a lot of stuff going on at once. Whew, it’s time to unpack this. As stated before, this post is…

Yep, I have a sci-fi list too. It’s not as big as my fantasy list, but I think there are some gems in this group that I’ll be getting into. This was a tougher list to create because I love science fiction books, but I haven’t narrowed down what I like from science fiction books.…

Welcome to the middle of the book! Actually, I’ve finished the book, but I’m sharing with you all my thoughts from the second section (pgs. 207-405) and let me tell you. A lot has happened. I’m going to dive into them now, but I need to warn you that this blog post will have a…
