Why I Haven't Blogged and Other News

You may have noticed that I haven't posted since the beginning May. Unfortunately, I have been extremely busy because of life and haven't had time to write reviews. However, you can sometimes find me, and some other better writers at Bibliodaze. I'll probably be posting there most of the time now, since I like the Wordpress system much more than the Blogger one, possibly because I'm a lazy person and don't feel like...

Liebster Award and Its Origins

The awesome Yuan, from Obsessive Compulsive Reader has nominated me for the Liebster Award. This may or may not have completely inflated my ego even more. The sad thing was, I had no idea what it was, or who started it, or anything about it. For all I knew, it could have been an insult to me and my blogging ways. The farthest back I think I found was a blog in 2003 or sometime close to that, but the post made no sense....

Nine Things That Confuse/ Annoy Me

Today, while calmly reflecting over life because I am a very peaceful person, I decided that there are some things in the world that don't make sense. For this post, I chose nine of them. Why only nine? Because of Karen Marie Moning's series, of course. 1) Orange It's some people's favorite color, but I'm so confused why. I mean, it's orange. The only thing that should be orange is an orange. Otherwise, it's just strange. 2)...

Why Haven't I Written Reviews?

There are a number of reasons for this important question that the few awesome people who actually pay attention to this blog will care to know about. The short and responsible answer is that I actually haven't found a book that I didn't really enjoy in the past few months, and I find that four or five star reviews are some of the hardest to write. I've also been working on Bibliodaze. Well, kind of. And then there's the...
