Reflections

"Water is the mirror of nature." — St. Francis of Assisi (I cannot find if he actually said this, but it's a great quote all the same.)

Reading Wrap-Up May, 2018

Usually at the end of the month I do a quick post about the books I read during that month. However, I've noticed a few people asking me whenever I rate a book, "What are you thoughts about this particular book?" And I realize that, though I don't have enough thoughts to write full reviews …

My Favorite Books With…Turquoise Covers

Besides red and black, I've always had a fondness for the color turquoise. It's such a vivid, beautiful blue. However, like black, I had so many problems trying to find covers of books I liked with this color. In fact, I only found four (none of which are purely turquoise). But here goes anyway. In …

Why Make An Original Movie When You Could Make A Remake?

A few days ago, the new trailer for Mowgli was released, set to come out in October of this year. I happened upon the trailer a couple days ago and all I could think was, “Wait, didn’t they just make The Jungle Book a couple years ago?” And the answer is, yes, they did. The …

My Favorite Books With…Black Covers

Saying that, it’s surprisingly hard to find books I enjoyed with a predominantly black cover. Though, considering my selection, I’ve realized most black covered books have something to do with murder…who would have …

Book Tag: Never Have I Ever (Original Tag)

I see tons of these Never Have I Ever challenges going around Youtube, whether it is about Youtubers or celebrities. I thought it would be interesting to do one surrounding the topic of books. However, I couldn’t find one I liked, so I’m making one up myself! I know, I’m a rebel. Never Have I …

Under Shade

"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time." ― John Lubbock

Book Review: My Lady’s Choosing (a.k.a., the most aggravating book I have ever read)

An interactive romance novel. It’ll be fun, they said. You won’t lose your mind, they said. Well, they lied. Oh, they lied so badly (whoever ‘they’ might be). This book is the bane of my existence. No, not just because it is the most confusing drivel I have ever read. No, not just because I …
