Review: Vox by Christina Dalcher
Whew... this book made me sweat with anger.. just reviewing my notes & prepping this review is making me hot again, smh. I am vehemently against organized religion, the atrocities committed in the name of one religious book or another throughout the history of human-kind is a greater lesson that cannot be ignored. Let's get... Continue Reading →

Review: Sand Series by Hugh Howey {Sand, Across the Sand}
Hugh Howey knows how to write dystopian worlds! This is the 2nd series from this author that I've read & just like the Wool Series (reviewed here) I need more.

I'll update if/when I reread. These... Continue Reading →

Review: My Annihilation by Fuminori Nakamura

Phalaenopsis Aphrodite
Few weeks ago I came across these beautiful orchids at a major home improvement store a little dehydrated & sad so I had to bring them home. These are my 1st ever orchids, thus far in my "Troll in Central Park" journey I've only cared for succulents & cacti so this is definitely a more... Continue Reading →
