What is decided to be unconventional would be what society or… Continue reading Should Unconventional Forms of Storytelling Be Considered As Proper Works of Fiction?
There was a time when it was common to see the enchanting covers of An Enchantment of Ravens and Sorcery of Thorns (beautifully illustrated by Charlie Bowater) all over social media. I believe Sorcery of Thorns was a popular read a while back along with An Enchantment of Ravens, which are by author Margaret Rogerson.… Continue reading Entangled By Margaret Rogerson’s Spellbinding Sorcery of Thorns
It's time for another Recommendations & Recent Things where I skim through the "recent things" section! Truth be told, I am wondering why I even put "recent things" in the title when I came up with this when I don't actually share what the "recent things" are, though I suppose if you shut one eye,… Continue reading Recommendations & Recent Things #7

Many things have happened this year, and it has generally been chaotic, the news feeds providing no rest within events that are large enough to swallow us whole and yet maintain their black hole-like appetite for more and more. This year, I found out of The StoryGraph after seeing it floating around online. The stats… Continue reading To Wrap Up A Year: The Books That Made It A Little Better
A year or so ago, I found out about nature journalling. The idea appealed to me greatly - the idea that we could keep a journal with snippets of memories, emotion and information that was illustrated and would result in a beautiful archive of stories.
