Well, we’re already a month deep into 2016 and so far so… uh… good? I mean, overlooking that whole David Bowie, Alan Rickman thing… Too soon? Yeah, too soon. To take my mind off all the tragic losses 2016 has thus far slung our way, I dove into my reading list pretty deep. As of today…
Read MoreTop 5 Books of 2015
I like to think I’m showing up fashionably late to the “Top 5 of 2015” party. Then again, a lot of you are already blitzed out of your mind and laying haphazardly strewn across every plushy and hardwooded surface imaginable, so I might just be tossing this post up into the ether never to be seen…
Read MoreReading Experience Blog Reads Pretty Much Everything I’ve Written in the Span of 2 Days!
THE READING EXPERIENCE BLOG REVIEWS MY ENTIRE STARTER LIBRARY AND THEN SOME! Reviews are like mana to a writer.

Read MoreWhat Sense 8 Can Teach Us About Characterization!
I’ve got to get something off my chest. Earlier this year I wrote a blog post about 5 Reasons Mr. Robot is the Best Show on T.V.. But I have to confess…there’s a new love in my life. It’s a little show called… *drum roll* *more drum roll* *cymbal splash* Sense 8! Wait, what do…
