Anjolee Jewelry
I was provided a free necklace from Anjolee in exchange for an honest review. Ok, let me start this off by saying that my clothing/jewelry budget does not leave me in any position to be buying diamond jewelry, of any kind. However, I like to window shop as much as the...
2013 in Review
As 2013 winds to a close, I thought it fitting to do a review of things that have happened on this here blog over the past year and see what's what. Like last year, some of the selections for the most popular posts were a bit surprising. And some of the ones I'd...
2012 in Review
I thought it'd be fun to do a little review of things that have happened on this here blog over the past year and see what's what. I don't generally pay too much attention to my pageview stats, so some of the selections for the most popular posts were a bit...

Book Review: Ice Song
Ice Song By Kirsten Imani Kasai I was very intrigued by this book from the blurb on the back, which prompted me to check it out from the library. And then it was nothing like what the back leads you to believe. For a novel whose main character is a gender-bender...
Book Review: The Devil You Know
The Devil You Know By Mike Carey This book started out so promising. It had a wise-cracking protaganist with a great name (Felix Fix Castor). It had good pace, good mystery, and some interesting characters, and of course a dash of the paranormal, as Felix is an...
Book Review: Misspent Youth
Misspent Youth By Peter F. Hamilton The book jacket description led me to believe this would be my kind of science fiction - the kind that uses the sci-fi element to explore human psychology and sociology, rather than just being an adventure story set in space or...
