I Have Returned

The Writerly Experiment Continues: The First Week

The Mage in Black by Jaye Wells My rating: 5 of 5 stars I picked up Red-Headed Stepchild a year ago. I’d never heard of Jaye Wells(and considering it was her first novel, [...]
In Which I Solicite Opinions….
I’ve been pretty boring lately. I know. I’m trying to come up with a new theme for my blog, maybe something that will inspire me to post more. I like blogging a lot, but i’m not always sure what I want to blog about is what anyone gives two shits about. I have finals this [...]
