I’m not going to give any background on this. You all know where we’re at and how spectacular 2020 has been going. Fuck me. Pre-lockdown mania ensues. Frantic doctor appointments and buying baking supplies because my moment has arrived! (Do I have enough wine?) My neighbor is implementing his rise to stardom early by practicing … Continue reading Lockdown Lunacy Day 1-7

Come to the dark side, there is death
Do you ever feel incredibly excited to start reading a book, but once the first page is turned, strangely apprehensive? One, because it's a thick book and there's been a lot of talk about it; and two, there's the sense of being overwhelmed because eventually you will reach that space where you actually know what's … Continue reading Come to the dark side, there is death
The bells are ringing
The sequel to "The train station." Cue le music... 'Dawn broke across a crisp landscape of autumn air. Birds rustled in their nests and dew mantled the earth in a diamond display.

Final Curtain
It's back to the world of Caraval and there is sadly just one more game left. After you are swept in with the magical prose, it does a good job of bringing you up to speed with what transpired in the previous book. The descriptions of certain concepts or scenes matched perfectly with the general … Continue reading Final Curtain
Because Unicorns
It started with a tiny book about unicorn lore, read under the covers with only a torch for light. What was it about these creatures that drew maidens, breathed magic and commanded majesty? They were the pure light of the world, at least in the reality of my thoughts, pushing against the darkness of growing … Continue reading Because Unicorns
