Finale by Gerard Way My rating: 5 of 5 stars There are a LOT of things that I love about this comic book series. One of those things happens to be the very cool MCR-esque book titles. This one's called Finale --of course--but it also has the very awesome alternative, Brother…

A Pocketful of Crows by Joanne M. Harris My rating: 5 of 5 stars After DNFing a novella the other day, I decided I wanted a change of pace. So I went through my Kindle books and stumbled on this one. As soon as I started, I got sucked into the beautiful prose. A nameless bro…

Welcome to my 2019 Goals edition. As you might (or might not) know, I don't do New Year's resolutions. Personally, those never work for me. Instead, I put together a goals list, which really works for me. Although I like to have a yearly goals list, I also make smal…
