To be honest, I rarely ever watch TV. In fact, the only time I ever watch it anymore is when my parents are watching and I’m sitting on the couch working on the computer. I have a major commitment issue when it comes to shows! I’ll start watching something, then after a couple of episodes, I just….stop watching. Not because I don’t like the shows, because I do…I just forget to watch them. And then I stop thinking about them. […]
Bad Boys in Fiction Why are they appealing? I’ve often wondered this myself. In real life, I do not like bad boys. “Bad boy” in real life directly translates to asshole. Sure, I went through that phase when I was young and thought that was the only kind of boy that existed, but when it comes time to settle down, bad boys are so not appealing. Why would you want to marry someone who will treat you like crap (and possibly cheat on […]
Insurgent. Noun. A person who acts in opposition to the established authority, who is not necessarily regarded as a belligerent. While I still mostly enjoyed this one, it was overall kind of meh for me. Now that I’ve finished it, the book is already fading away. It won’t stick with me or leave a lasting impression. The feeling (or lack thereof) I got from this book probably didn’t deserve a 3 heartbeat rating, but I did enjoy it while I […]

What makes me follow a blog? 1. The design. I’m ashamed to admit that this is my number one thing. If I’m attracted to the design, I’m probably going to follow no matter what the content is. I’m a shallow creature, what can I say? I like simple, clean designs with very minimal sidebars. 2. Same tastes in books. If a blogger reads almost all of the same books I do, I’m more likely to follow. If they read […]
I really enjoyed The Archived, and after hearing many good things about this one, I was sure I’d love it. And for once, I was right! This story is not rainbows and unicorns. It was dark and rather twisted, and I think that’s why I liked it so much! One of my favorite things about this book is the broken timeline. It jumps back and forth between the past and the present, sometimes sporadically. But, it was never confusing. Victoria Schwab […]
