Hey, all! I’ve got an announcement to make. I’m going on an indefinite hiatus from blogging. Why? I’m just not enjoying it anymore. It’s also been affecting my enjoyment of reading. I feel like I have to think of things to say about a book for the blog, instead of blogging because I have things [...]

The Future of Strangely Pop Cultured
Hey, sorry for going AWOL again. I was having severe back pain, but I went to the doctor, got me some meds and shots, and now I’m almost good as new. Except that then I immediately got hit with Writer’s Block. (Side note: is that supposed to be capitalized? Whatever, I’m doing it anyway.) I [...]

The concept of the “New Year’s Resolution” is an inside joke shared by all of humanity. We know we won’t take it seriously, but every [...]
Viva Las Vegas!
They say that whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But they didn’t expect a girl with nothing going on her in life to walk the Strip. Besides, I came of age in the era of social media. Nothing is staying private for long. So it is with no qualms that I write this post. [...]
Cursed App?: A Review of the “Hogwarts Mystery” Game
You know how we all dreamed of going to Hogwarts? Well, earlier this year, our letters finally came! Er, sort of. They came in the form of a role-play game. Still, that’s more than we’ve gotten from previous games where we simply went on Harry’s journey. In this game, titled Hogwarts Mystery, you get to [...]
Popular Books I Hate
