Remember (A spoiler review of The Memory Police)

When I was in kindergarten, my best friend and I would walk back from school with our nannies. On the way back, there used to be a small shop, and every day, my friend and I would pester our nannies to buy us gobstoppers from there. It's been years since I was in kindergarten, and …

Why I read as much as I do

A lot of times, people ask me how I read so much. and always, I never know what to say. The answer that I simply enjoy it never seems enough to them. It feels like a trick, because they don't enjoy it. Last week, every day, I would stand at the bus stop and read …

Am I still dreaming? A review of Number9Dream by David Mitchell

I took too long to read this book. Far too long. Had I read it in a month (like I normally do with most college work) I may have enjoyed it more. Or maybe, the reason I ended up liking it so much is because I read it this slowly, coming back to it in …

Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe

Here's to celebrating my freakish regularity! As usual, here's a short anecdote describing how I came upon my latest post. So, I was going through some of my old book reviews (for a school project.

Is going to Mars a good idea? Is it? (a review of Martian Chronicles)

In other news....I FINALLY FINISHED THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES!   Ugh. Where do I even begin with this book. It is so funny and so profound and it will hit you right when you don't expect it to. If you read the Goodreads blurb, it goes The strange and wonderful tale of man’s experiences on Mars, …

End of the year book tag!

Back because talking about books is free and therapy is not. Book tags are one of my most favourite things to do so how could I not do one now that I've revived my blog? Found this on Kellie's Book Nook (link in the dooptie doo (yes I'm also a Nerdfighter now)) and was originally …
