I took a little time with this one. I picked it up and started reading, but after the first session it took me awhile to really get in the mood to continue. I don’t think I fault the book for that, it just took a bit to get going, and I had some other things [...]

As promised, here we are before Christmas and my journey through the world of the “Looking Glass Wars” novels is complete. There’s more out there in the form of graphic novels, which I intend to explore, but I’ve now finished the story of the books themselves. Considering how long ago I purchased the first book [...]

I had a few days I had to devote to shopping since it is Christmas and all, and I had a few other things going on this past week, so that delayed my start a little bit. Once that was out of the way though, I pretty much tore through this book with the same [...]

Alright, Isis made for a good placeholder, but a one hour read as the only read in such a span is pretty poor. My time back in the world of gaming is starting to stabilize though. After being without a decent computer for years, I will freely admit that I got carried away for awhile [...]

Alright, I’m guilty, I was really slacking off when it came to this one. It had nothing to do with the story quality, I was just enjoying having a computer that can actually, you know, play games again. Between the Half-Life series and Team Fortress 2, I admit I spent many nights playing through that [...]

Obviously after reading “Tigerheart”, I had to read “Peter Pan” itself. I know the story well enough through pop culture to have understood what I needed to for “Tigerheart”, particularly since the story was written in a way that knowledge of “Peter Pan” wasn’t really a necessity. Still, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to give [...]

Yeah yeah, I know, I went the fantasy route again. What can I say though, it is my preferred genre as far as literature goes. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that fantasy is a genre that just doesn’t exist to any significant degree in any other medium. I was [...]

Wow, that’s really all I can say at this point. I figured this book was no longer than a few of the Harry Potter books, and I whipped through those at a reasonable pace. This one, however, was quite a bit heavier of a read than those books, which certainly demonstrated to me that page [...]

I decided to go with something a bit quicker this week because I will be going out of town this following week, which is from the 5th to the 11th of July. I didn’t want to finish a book while I was out of town since I can’t be certain I would be able to [...]

Well, it’s been a few days since I read the book, so I figured I might as well get this write up done with. I decided this time around I would take in a fantasy book that was just a one-shot, and that was a bit more typical of the genre than the urban fantasy [...]
