These are the avid ramblings of an obsessive reader, ambitious writer, and musical stalker.

Euphoria by Lily King
So, if you’ve heard of this book at all, you’ve probably heard the rave reviews. And, I got to be honest here, I completely agree. This book is incredible. Honestly, the best book I’ve read in a really long time. I guess I should explain that a little bit. When I was in High School, […]
MoreThe Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer
I need to be completely and totally honest with you all about this memoir. I have read many memoirs, from celebrities about political figures, even the complex relationships and events surrounding the presidential election in the 1800s. This memoir here, however, is one of the most artful compositions I have read. I know a lot […]
MorePurity by Jonathan Franzen
This book took me way too long to get through. A symptom of a busy schedule, but also a symptom of Jonathan Franzen’s writing style. Jonathan Franzen is not an author that focuses on the storyline or the plot, but on the characters. Everything he knows about the characters, he lets you in on. Sharing their […]
MoreLady Mechanika In Tablet of Destinies
Let’s revisit the land of electronics and mechanics with my favorite dashing, heroically-confused female lead in a comic: Lady Mechanic. Fresh from her origin stories, Lady Mechanic is now solving the cases and confusions of others in her Steampunk world. In the first couple of volumes, Lady Mechanika is up against the German army, trying […]
MoreCitizen An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
My running method for describing this book is the pre-planet phase. The swirling clusters of a galaxy before the hands of fate ball the pastel dust into a planet, nature’s natural form of compression. Pink photo particles swirl into the bright red ambers of poetry and blue bubbles of prose, hunting each other until they […]
MoreWhen my Brother was an Aztec by Natalie Diaz
This review is going to begin with a brief history lesson. 14,000 years ago, some of our furthest ancestors crossed the Bering Strait into what would become the Eastern Hemisphere. Of those people, there are nomads that would settle throughout the land. From present-day Mexico to present-day Canada, communities bubbled in their chosen hubs. Traits and […]
MoreA Memoir According to Kathy Griffin
What can I say about Kathy Griffin that has not already been said, mostly by herself? She has created a career out of self-humiliation, and amen to that, must be difficult to be the butt of your own jokes and the foundation for your career. I’m pretty sure I could never do that, it’s take […]
MoreUganda Be Kidding Me by Chelsea Handler
When there’s a book and a Netflix special, what to do, which to choose? I’ve seen the Netflix special, funny but not her best comedically. Her book, entertaining, still not the best. Having seen the Netflix special, I knew all the stories of Chelsea’s Africa trip in a more condensed version, which I believe spoiled […]
