I sit here with a swirl of thoughts and dreams late at night, my mind wide awake and throwing itself from the task at hand, yet still so much in the same spirit.

A Letter to 2021
Dear 2021, What a year you were. We started off with so much hope, so much optimism. 2020 was such a difficult year for so many people and in so many ways, it was hard not to imagine that 2021 could only be better. How naive we were. Not even a week into the year,Continue reading “A Letter to 2021”
Assassin’s Quest, The Farseer Trilogy Book 3 BOOK REVIEW

Assassin’s Apprentice, The Farseer Trilogy Book 1 BOOK REVIEW
The Farseer Trilogy was a book series I first picked up solely for the reason I heard Robin Hobb’s name over and over again. When an author’s name is referenced alongside authors whose work I have thoroughly enjoyed, I have to at least give it consideration. When they are referenced alongside those authors over andContinue reading “Assassin’s Apprentice, The Farseer Trilogy Book 1 BOOK REVIEW”
