My podcast is back (with a wild new episode)
I’ve decided to bring back my book reviewing podcast. Woo! I’m starting in with God Emperor of Dune, my personal favorite in the Dune series thus far. I touch on the series as a whole, as well as the fourth installation in particular. It’s definitely one to listen to, even if you haven’t gotten into…

Podcast Update #1
Good afternoon! I finished my fall semester today, meaning I am officially on break until spring semester starts in January. This means that I am getting a little time to catch up on everything, and when I say everything, I mean: writing, reading, podcasting, everything books! I am currently at the 42,000 word mark for…

The Selection by Kiera Cass
Good morning and happy Sunday! I want to start off by saying a quick thank you to everyone who has supported me in my writing endeavors, especially those of you who have picked up a copy of my books. I am very happy with how my Better Luck This Time release went, and I have…

I Wrote Another Book!
As any of you who have followed my blog for a bit know, it is only on a very rare occasion that I make a post exclusively about my own writing. My main goal with this blog is to write my thoughts on others’ books and find readers who share my interests (or who have…

Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
My most recent reading escapade wound up being a far different experience than I anticipated. After hearing how much my sister liked the Six of Crows duology, we decided to read them for our podcast. Me for the first time, Laura for the second. I ended up loving them, though I must admit I found…

The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness
Oh, The Ask and the Answer. How I love thee. Words can hardly express how much I adore this series, most of all its second installment. I only regret not knowing these books existed before last year. Still, I can’t complain. Better late than never. I’m happy to say I’m finding that, even at twenty-one…

Children of Dune by Frank Herbert
The only sensible way to start this review is to acknowledge that Children of Dune was a wild ride from start to finish. It is undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve read in the recent past. At the very base level, there was a huge change in how much I cared about these characters…

Killer Clowns and… President Trump?
Yes, this is a book review. Yes, the title will make sense in time. It’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post here. I’m not exactly sure what happened. I just sort of lost my enthusiasm and let myself slip away from my weekly posts. Soon enough, I figured it didn’t much matter…

Crocs vs. Old Men in the Woods
Guess who has a new podcast episode up today? This girl! And this girl’s sister! This week, we read Chapters 1-6 of The Knife of Never Letting Go (the first installation in the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness) and recorded our first ever book talk. We discuss a wide variety of topics, ranging from…

I Started a Podcast – We Talk Books
On December 31st, my sister and I recorded the very first episode of our podcast, We Talk Books. As suggested by the title, it is essentially a two woman book club in which we read part of a book each week, then discuss which characters we like, who we don’t, what scenes we like and…
