Snark Week Double Down- Just STFU.
Time for round 2- today’s topic! Today is all about tired, saggy old tropes that need to be retired. What elements in books need to just go away. It’s a Sharknado of bad writing, stupid ideas, lazy plotting, corner cutting, and other things that go bump in the night. Childhood abuse/sex abuse as a stand […]
Like a Great White Snark on Snark Week
So the lovely Rachel at Parajunkee knew I was coming, apparently, and baked a cake, because it’s Snark Week!

Thinking About…The Professional by Kresley Cole
I’ve been going back and forth about what I want to write about this series since I finished installment three last Monday. I hadn’t even planned on reading this when it first came out back in December but ended up giving it a shot when a significant chunk of it was free from the author […]
Hello friends!
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to those who partake, and to those who don’t, welcome back! It’s been awhile (again) and a lot has happened since my last apology for abandoning my blog to the internet wolves, so to speak, but the joys of the holidays means there’s actually time to sit down and do […]
