Attempting To Read My First Mariana Zapata Book….

Mariana Zapata is someone I hear about online a lot. So I decided to read one of her books for myself… or at least, try to read one. So I picked up one of Mariana’s books that is called When Gracie Met The Grump. It’s a story about a superhero who crash lands and injures…
giving up on grammar

i have just started a new job that requires me to pay very close attention to grammar. so i’ve decided that for the most part, i will be using as little grammar as i want in these posts. they’re going to start looking a little different with SOME use of grammar, but not a ton.…
The Martian | Book Vs Movie

Firstly, I want to say that I loved The Martian – the book and the movie. The way that Andy Weir writes a story is something special. Science Fiction can be challenging to get through (particularly when you don’t know a whole ton about science), but he makes it easy to understand and fun to…
Rock, Paper, Scissors | First Alice Feeney Attempt

Alright we are back with another “attempt” to read a popular author that I hear about all the time, but had never actually read. So, this one was difficult. I picked up a book that was a thriller, and that is seemingly what I got.. but when I want a thriller mixed with fantasy/supernatural potential,…
Disney’s Cruella | Book Vs Movie

When fashionistas go bad… or were bad from the start… whichever way it was the newest Live Action movie that focuses on the villain from 101 Dalmatians. Regardless of how I feel about focussing so much on the bad guys in media right now, I do like Emma Stone and I had remembered it as…
First Time Reading Lord of the Rings

First time looking at a Tolkien book… I know, don’t shoot the messenger. Especially considering that I finally did sit down and read the giant book that was The Fellowship of the Ring. I honestly went into reading this thinking that I wouldn’t like it. The bits and pieces of ads that I’ve seen for…
I Was ALSO Wrong About eBooks

Okay, I am coming to you humbly again admitting that I was wrong… A little. Well, sort of. I have recently been appreciating other forms of books, and eBooks were on my list of things that I just didn’t like or couldn’t really commit to reading. Most of this is personal preference, because I am…
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory | Book Vs Movie

Okay, I finally read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for first time! After liking the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film, and hating the Johnny Depp version I thought it was time to see what the book had to offer originally. There were a few differences that I noticed between the book…
Reading the BEST of a BAD Bunch…

Recently, after the personal success of reading only a chapter of books that I own to countdown to Christmas, I found out the strategy worked wonders! I could get a glimpse of whether a book was something I was excited to read, feeling “meh” about, or something I could unhaul… So I’m doing it again.…
