To first give a little background: I had started cleaning our outdoor patio furniture Monday of last week, and in doing so I pulled out all the chairs and such from the cabana and into the yard to properly wash them. I started cleaning quite late that Monday afternoon, so I decided I would finish […]

Okay,  so while I did plan on reviewing the second book in the Ace of Shades series by Amanda Foody, King of Fools, I haven’t actually managed to finish the book yet and I’d rather wait until I get to the end to give my opinions on it. Since I briefly mentioned in my last […]

Over this past week, I re-read Ace of Shades in preparation to read the second book in The Shadow Games series, King of Fools, which I will hopefully finish in time for next week’s blog. I wish I had written down my initial thoughts when I first read it (because my opinions always change), but as I […]

To first give a general overview: Half-fae, half-human Bryce Quinlan loves her life. By day, she works for an antiquities dealer, selling barely legal magical artifacts, and by night, she savors every pleasure Crescent City has to offer with her friends. But it all comes crumbling down in a single night of gruesome murders. Flashforward […]

I can´t bake. At all. I knew that when I offered to bake chocolate chip cookies for the bake sale, yet I still deluded myself into thinking that I could be Betty Crocker. Everything was going pretty smoothly for a while; it wasn´t until the actual baking took place that things went a little haywire. […]

Yesterday was more eventful than I prefer my Saturdays to be. I took the ACT, but I’m not going to blog about that because that would be boring. I also had tennis practice with the new coach at Tchefuncta, which just toes the line of being too boring to blog about. So tennis it is […]

From about pre-K to 3rd grade, when faced with the question, “So, what do you want to be when you grow up?”, I never answered that I wanted to be a princess, or the president, or a police officer. I wanted to be a librarian. For as long as I can remember, I have loved […]

Looking back on last year´s winter, I prefer to remember that our backyard was covered in a thick blanket of white while the wind howled and piled snow in drifts. In actuality, the ground looked more dirtily wet with hints of snow than anything. It has only snowed where I’ve lived two other times, the […]
