How perfect is it that the review that’s taken the longest to write is titled that?
To be fair, I live in Georgia, so quarantine ended right after I announced this series. Goodbye free time, hello anxiety.
I wasn’t prepared for how funny and clever this book turned out to be.
Reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (which will now be referred to as simply Hitchhiker’s) was like listening to a Dungeons and Dragons podcast. It was a wakey adventure that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Hitchhiker’s is fun, incredibly creative, and has excellent world-building.
Continue reading “A Quick Review of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”This is the first book I’m reviewing that I never finished and have no intention of finishing. I can’t even tell you that much about the plot because it’s been over a year since I shelved it. When I thought about reading it again, I remembered how much of a chore it was to read. The format of this review will be a little different than normal. Alright, let’s talk about Wicked

In honor of the Inuyasha getting a sequel, I’m gonna share this c theory that 13-year-old me came up with. This theory doesn’t even have that much evidence backing it. I just thought it would be fun.
Continue reading “Kikiyo’s Other Reincarnation”Because I’m still procrastinating, here’s another book series that I already started.
Flashback to 2011. Borders was going out of business and books were cheap, so I picked a random book off the shelf. I believe I was in high school at the time, so this was the first time that I picked a book that wasn’t in the manga section.
Continue reading “A Quick Review of the Lady Julia Grey Novels”(For anyone who doesn’t know, a light novel is a kind of young adult novel in Japan. The ones I’ve read usually clock in just under 200 pages with pictures sprinkled in. If you hear that an anime has a novel linked to it, then chances are its a light novel.)
I found the Baccano! series through anime. Back when Hulu was still free to everyone, I would watch every decent anime dubs that I could get my grubby little paws on. (For anyone who doesn’t watch dubs, I was a busy college student tried from reading. At the time a good dub was a godsend.)
Something that people should know about me is that I am a terrible reader. So terrible that I suspect that I must have some diagnosed reading disability. That didn’t stop me from watching anime subbed, reading manga, and surfing fanfiction.net for countless hours.
Still, it came as a shock to my family when I decided to major in English. (Well, it was English with a concentration in Creative Writing, but I still had to read plenty of novels and short stories.) With my major came a new healthier appetite for reading, but when I graduated, I lost the constant stream of reading material.
Jump ahead, and now I work at a bookstore. Unfortunately, I’ve developed the fiscally irresponsible habit of finding new books every time I clock in. While I can resist buying every book it the store, I now have a collection so large I can’t them fit on my shelf (there are literal stacks on my floor).
Of these books, most of them remain untouched, while the rest are half-read. So to motivate me to get through my 30+ pile of backup reading, I decided to start a series where I finish (or abandon) the books that I have accumulated and review them. I’ll start by reviewing the book series that I’m already partway through.
Until then, see ya later!
So forever ago I wrote a post where I talked about shipping and threw in a line about how Rukia from Bleach was only the secondary lead for the first couple of arcs. I even promised to come back to that topic at a later date. Well, it’s been 2 years (My, how the time flies!) and with news that the Bleach anime is coming back what better time to talk about it than now.
Continue reading “Ichigo Kurosaki and The Squad”Originally, this was going to be a post about the ways that Smallville failed to live up to my hazy childhood memories of the show. I was gonna go on a tirade about how the show’s talk of destiny and making Clark become a superhero that wasn’t Superman ultimately made the final seasons drag on. However as I tried to write that post, I kept thinking back to the early days of the show. Back when I couldn’t wait to watch another episode and see where the story went.
Continue reading “I Was Not Prepared to Actually Enjoy Smallville”I want to start by saying that Harriet Tubman is probably the closest person to a role-model that I have. So when they dropped the trailer for the movie I had already decided that I was going to see it. Fast-forward a couple of months and adult life was getting in the way of planning a simple trip to the movie with friends, and I’m on my way to watch Harriet.
