This book, by James Dashner, was suggested by Goodreads as one I would enjoy because I enjoyed Hunger Games. I read a few of the reviews and they either raved about it or hated it. I was intrigued (and it was like $0.99 on Google Play). So I picked it up, knowing it probably wasn't going to be… Continue reading Review: The Maze Runner
Life Memories: Braves
Today in 2010 I went to a Braves game. A new friend at my work said he had an extra ticket and would I like to come along. I said sure. It had already been years since the last baseball game attended and... well it would be a fun change of pace. We met at the… Continue reading Life Memories: Braves
Review: Borrowing Books
I Read this Blog Post which makes the case against borrowing/lending books. I understand completely the stress of lending. I let someone borrow Mistborn, didn't write down and who and now.... I have a hole in my collection. I will probably end up spending the $5 at a used book store to replace it, but I know I lent… Continue reading Review: Borrowing Books
Review: Valor’s Choice (Tanya Huff)
I needed to do some work this weekend and didn't feel like listening to "just" music, so I went to Scribd and found Valor's Choice (it actually recommended a later one in the series and I went and dug for the first) and listened to this audiobook... Overall: 7.75/10 Firstly, let me say I thoroughly enjoyed… Continue reading Review: Valor’s Choice (Tanya Huff)
Politics: Innocent until proven guilty
There was a really interesting piece on NPR about Hillary Clinton's email server. There were a few things I found fascinating, but one that stuck out is "innocent and 'not guilty' are not the same thing." - and this is just such an important subtlety of our justice system that I don't think you should be… Continue reading Politics: Innocent until proven guilty
Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Today is the 50th anniversary of Star Trek's premier on TV. I think it is a perfect day for some self-reflection and future-focused thought. Who do I want to be in 50 years? Or 500 (I mean, obviously, who do I want to be remembered as in 500 years since there is no current method confirmed… Continue reading Life Memory: Star Trek 50th
Commentary: Trigger Warnings Debate
I've been trying to avoid "reactive" blog posts. There is a lot going on in the news and I was beginning to feel like my blog was just the place I went to react to those things. That said... I need to get this off my chest! I was incredibly blessed in the college I… Continue reading Commentary: Trigger Warnings Debate
Review: Deerskin (Robin McKinley)
Deerskin by Robin McKinley was a deal on Google Play books so I decided to pick it up. Once I started reading, I got engrossed pretty quickly. Not for any of the usual reasons I get sucked into a story, but because it is so different from other books I've found over the past few years.… Continue reading Review: Deerskin (Robin McKinley)
Life: This week….
This week has been terrible. I keep trying to tell myself it could be worse, but you know what? It is bad enough that I'm chalking into the terrible category and leaving it there. Let's start with the overwhelming stress and terror of putting in an offer on a house over the weekend. We made an… Continue reading Life: This week….
Review: Ghostbuster
This movie would not have changed my life except for the controversy around it. It was an enjoyable summer flick - but because of all the rage (I mean really, it's just another remake)... I have given it a different kind of attention. I was watching looking for feminism rants and sexist bullshit. It wasn't there. It… Continue reading Review: Ghostbuster
