No Comments on #ProjectKnitspeare – Romeo and Juliet

I had either forgotten or never realized how funny Shakespeare is (maybe because a lot of jokes are sexual innuendos, which probably isn’t something you want to discuss with a bunch of […]

No Comments on Kingsman: The Secret Service by Mark Millar, Dave Gibbons & Matthew Vaughn

No Comments on The Winner’s Crime by Marie Rutkoski

I enjoyed the first book in the Winner’s Trilogy, The Winner’s Curse, and gave it 4 stars (or cups, using my new blog rating scale). Maybe 4.5. The writing was absolutely beautiful and I loved the characters, but I wanted more world-building. I didn’t feel like I could completely ‘see’ Herran and Valorian society. Well, […]
