Mug lore: This mug is one of the newest in my collection and has quickly become one of my favorites. It was a gift from my…

Continue reading →: 2025 in Reading and WritingI read a lot and I wrote a lot last year (compared to the previous couple of years) and a few changes in my habits are responsible for most of the ground gained. First, I made a goal of writing at least one word on a project every day. Second,…

Continue reading →: A Review of The Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England (and by extension, the art of the absurd)This book is… interesting to say the least. Which I suppose is a way of saying it was my least favorite story of the four Sanderson secret novels. But I still enjoyed it immensely. This was, in large part, thanks to the artwork. But also the artwork was kind of…

Continue reading →: Back at it Again at Krispy KremeAfter an adventurous summer, the Oregon air is finally cooling and with it a bunch of indoor activities (like writing!) have again become viable. Which means the blog gets updated! (Thanks, rain). Some highlights (and lowlights) of the year so far: Trying to read 50 books this year: I can’t…

Continue reading →: A Review of Tress of the Emerald Sea (and by extension, The Princess Bride)Tress of the Emerald Sea was the first book I received as part of a year of Sanderson. It arrived several months late because of issues with the printers, which was unfortunate but not the end of the world. I did appreciate Sanderson’s team sending several emails explaining the delays…

Books 1-3: The Beginning (Side note: if you haven’t read part 1, it’s here.) I read Lord of the Rings right before launching into WoT and am glad I did. It’s hard to read fantasy without seeing Tolkien’s influence, but WoT feels almost like a new world in an adjacent…

Oh boy it’s been a while since the last update. Certainly that’s not because Things and Stuff have been happening! Here’s an overview of the last few months, summarized: Workplace got hacked (literally everything: phones, computers, every program we used. All gone lol) Cat died (R.I.P. Iroh, one of the…

I’ve been burning through books lately (it’s a metaphor don’t worry) which is coincidentally one of my favorite things to do. I never would have started writing if not for my love of reading. Though I’m a sucker for fantasy and sci-fi, I’ll pick up any free-roaming literature that wanders…
