A Rainy Tuesday Indeed
It is once again a very rainy Tuesday, and I’m LIVING FOR IT. I know that most of LA is over the rain now. But I remember living here when it used to rain like this all the time and I honestly missed it. I know it can be a nuisance, but it’s also so cozy too. And not having to water my garden and all my outdoor plants constantly is also a win hahaha. I can’t wait until it starts to warm up a bit, and my roses bloom. I’m sure that they’re very thankful for all of this…

Book Review: Wrath by Daniel Kraus and Sharon Moalem
In a future much nearer than you think, where scientific experimentation is exploited for commercial profit, unwisely under-supervised cutting-edge technology creates a menace that threatens the very fabric of human existence. Wrath is the story of a lab rat instilled with human genes whose supersized intelligence helps him to engineer his escape into the world outside the lab: a world vastly ill-equipped to deal with the menace he represents. Modified through advances that have boosted his awareness of humankind’s cruelty in the name of science, and endowed with a rat’s natural proclivity to procreate regularly, Sammy has the potential to…

Happy March!
Hello my friends, and happy March! February always flies by so quickly and before I know it I’m already stressing about a new month haha. As it stands, February was also the first official month of my job transition and that made it equally fly by. I had a great month though, and I actually got some reading done too, although maybe not as much as I had hoped for. But not setting strict standards has made me less stressed about that, so it’s nice! Anyway I just wanted to pop in to say hi! I’ll get some posts queued…

Book Review: Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail (Bright Falls #2) by Ashley Herring Blake
Hart Ralston is a demigod and a marshal, tasked with patrolling the wasteland of Tanria. The realm the exiled old gods once called home is now a forsaken place where humans with no better options or no better sense come seeking adventure or spoils, but more often end up as drudges: reanimated corpses inhabited by the souls of those who’ve died in Tanria before. Hart tells himself that his job is simple: neutralize the drudges with a quick zap to the appendix and deliver them back to polite society at the nearest undertaker’s, leaving the whys and hows of the…

The sun finally emerges!
I was supposed to write you all a review for Astrid Parker Doesn’t Fail yesterday, but the day was so tiring I didn’t. Instead, I told myself I’d write it today. Then I woke up with a mild migraine and decided today is not the day either. So, you get a rambling post instead. Hahaha. At least I have been keeping up better with posts, and it’s feeling rather good to be honest. Although we’re due for another rainstorm soon, this week has been blessedly sunny. Yesterday the temperature even got up into the low 70s, and I was like…
