Thank you SO much to all that participated in this survey! It really means a lot! I am very excited to share these results with all of you. I got a lot of insight and some great input! A few of the things I knew I needed to work on, but there were things on there that surprised me. I’m going to be honest, some of it was disheartening. Looking over the results, I feel like no matter what I […]
This book was very tough to rate for me. I had extremely bipolar thoughts about this book, and the rating should be broken down as such: Scenes with the Anthropophagi Scenes without the Anthropophagi It’s no secret that I am NOT a fan of historical by any means, and I had no clue going into this that it would be historical (I saw Rick Yancey + gruesome horror and didn’t bother to read anymore). So, I was bored to tears in the […]
The uniqueness of this book was the selling quality for me. The idea was crazy, but also completely logical. It was done so well that I felt like it could actually happen! I didn’t really care for Sal, to be honest. She was rather flat and dull to me, and I couldn’t connect with her at all. I felt nothing reading from her perspective because she was so detached and clinical about everything. The emotion just wasn’t there. There were a […]
I do love the occasional mystery, and this one was pretty darn good! It gave you several options without giving away the ending.

I tend to figure things out before the characters do, so it was refreshing to be surprised. Norcut says that was probably why my […]

Todays topic: The horror genre in film! I loooove horror. I love creepy, dark stories. BUT…I am very picky. I do not scare easily at all, and I find 95% of the horror out there comedic rather than scary. I also don’t have a weak stomach. The gorier, the better! [edit: I also don’t get nightmares. Ever. The only movie that ever gave me a (kind of) nightmare is The Notebook, because it reminded me of my past and I dreamt […]
