Hello there! Thanks for checking out my blog. Fun Facts: • I'm in my early 30s! • Writing is a HUGE part of my life—I'd be lost if I couldn't express myself through words. (Growing up, books were a source of comfort for me. I’m still drawn to bookshelves & read as often as I can.) • My other hobbies include knitting, gaming, & coloring. • I have two "Golden Girl" Retrievers, Charlie (4) & Lily (almost a year old! How time flies). My family, friends, dogs, & fiancé Rory are all very important in my life. I honestly wouldn't trade them for anything! Happy blogging, everyone! 💙

#nails

Just painted my nails black with a matte finish. A bit came off the edge of my left thumb. I was whistling to Rammstein, and the whistle died in my throat. Haha!

Writer’s Blood

No ink on my body but ink’s in my blood the smudge on my left hand is a badge a tat of ink creased into my skin a sign of the writer’s blood within me. M.B.B.10/28/19

The Wolf & the Watchman

Niklas Natt Och Dach (whose name translates to Niklas Night and Day in English) has written a gritty, intelligent first novel called The Wolf and the Watchman. Originally published as 1793 in its native Swedish, The Wolf and the Watchman tells the tale of a watchman roused from a hangover one morning by a coupleContinue reading “The Wolf & the Watchman”

Hexslayer (Hexworld # 3)

Horse shifter Nick has dedicated his life to creating a safe haven for other shifters, men and women who can shift into animals at will. His one rule? Never trust a witch. When a feral–an un-bonded shifter–is killed, Nick must work with MWP copper Jamie MacDougal to catch the killer. Nick has one problem, though:Continue reading “Hexslayer (Hexworld # 3)”

Oxenfree

I just finished this game. To tell you the truth, it was amazing. It’s been in my queue for quite some time, and I purchased Oxenfree on a whim two days ago. The soundtrack is great, full of luscious electronic tracks, and really fits the feel of the game, whether you’re traveling through the woodsContinue reading “Oxenfree”

Hexmaker (Hexworld # 2)

To see my previous book reviews for Hexworld, go here! Malachi is a thief. He’s good at it, too. But one night, as he is supposed to steal something from a house, he ends up witnessing a murder. Dr. Owen Yates is a straight-laced policeman, working for the MWP (Metropolitan Witch Police). He helps makeContinue reading “Hexmaker (Hexworld # 2)”

Curse My Name: A Breakdown

Blind Guardian’s “Curse My Name,” reminds me of something. It clicked in my head only just this morning. For a song coming from 2010, it has strong resemblance to our current political climate. “Curse My Name” is a rousing song, telling the story of a tyrannical king being brought forth for his crimes. As theContinue reading “Curse My Name: A Breakdown”

Ten Years a Blue Fan!

In September, I quietly made it to ten years as a fan of Blue October’s music. I don’t listen to their music everyday, but when I do, I feel joy come over me. I’ve listened to their discography of rock and alternative music enough over the years that I’ve memorized most of their lyrics. IContinue reading “Ten Years a Blue Fan!”

Chernobyl

This five-part miniseries scared me. I had trouble sleeping, and often went to bed with the light on for long periods of time. While I knew a little of what happened in the late ’80s with the faulty reactor, I did not know everything. While there are flaws to the show–like representing radiation as thoughContinue reading “Chernobyl”

Hexhunter (Hexworld Book # 4)

I started this series backwards, first reading the fourth book, then working my way through the series from book one. I wanted to see what this series was all about, since it looked interesting: A world where hexes are used as commonly as electricity, in an alternative world parallel to our own.
