Yet another back-logged book review post, this time for a book I finished in early June – Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded by John Scalzi. This book is a collection of posts from his blog (called “Whatever”) from 1998-2008. It covers an interesting assortment of topics, from personal relationships and nerdy interests, to politics and … More Book Review: Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded
Continuing in my attempts to get my blogging up to date, I have another book review, this time from a book I finished back in May. It wasn’t a long read – it is a book written for a younger audience – but at this point I am pretty much willing to try any book … More Book Review: The Rithmatist
Ok, I feel a bit bad about taking so long to post this review – I finished this book back in the beginning of March. And I loved it so much that I read the thousand page sequel in just under a week! I have just been so danged busy that I have been rather … More Book Reviews: The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear
I am so behind in my blogging. Life seems even more fast-paced and crazy busy since I graduated, and I just haven’t had the time to document a lot of the exciting goings-on. As I may have mentioned, I have been doing a lot of sewing of skating costumes, which means I have been getting … More Book Review: The History of Love

I recently finished the fourth novel in the saga, A Feast for Crows. I have to say, after the … More Book Review: A Feast for Crows
I must admit that it is a bit surreal to be writing a (spoiler-free) book review for A Memory of Light. If you had told me when I first picked up the books as a middle school student that the conclusion would be half a lifetime away… Well, I still probably would have read it … More Book Review: A Memory of Light
This year I have taken Tim Gunn as my style inspiration, formulating my sewing plans around Tim’s essential wardrobe items. As such, I thought it would also be good to read the books Tim has written about fashion and style – A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style and Gunn’s Golden Rules – and now his latest … More Book Review: Tim Gunn’s Fashion Bible
So although I have been working my way through George R. R. Martin’s epic fantasy series and have put other books on hold until I get through the next few books, there are a few authors who automatically get to jump the line. Brandon Sanderson is one of them. When I pre-ordered Tim Gunn’s latest … More Book Review: Legion
Those of you who have been following the blog for a while may know that I have been slowly working my way through the George R. R. Martin Series A Song of Ice and Fire. Well, last year about this time I finished the first book, A Game of Thrones, and earlier this year I … More Book Review: A Storm of Swords
