I love seeing announcements about SFF books and series getting adapted into tv series or movies. Sometimes, it’s just an option so we don’t know if we’ll actually get it but I love seeing the announcements anyway. Less common to see are video game adaptations (except maybe Metro and The Witcher) – and that, I’d…… Continue reading 7 SFF Books and Series I’d Love To See Adapted in TV/Movies/Games

To-Finish: The Master and Margarita (The importance of finding the “right” translation)
Honestly, I hoped I wouldn’t have to put Mikhail Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita in my “to-finish” series. Sometimes, I’d get an itch to read a classic novel and I found that I got a fondness for reading Russian classics after reading a few shorter works. The Master and Margarita is one of those novels…… Continue reading To-Finish: The Master and Margarita (The importance of finding the “right” translation)

How does one review a book which has been read by many for generations and has been held to be some of the greatest works in World Literature? If something is a classic then that should mean they are the best…… Continue reading How I’ll Be Reviewing Classics
How Books Improved My Mood
For the past three years since I started college, I tended to be easily irritated and always stressed. I would turn to video games but those sometimes require a time commitment and big RPGs are pretty stressful. I had great friends I could hang with at school, but almost never outside. I simply didn’t have…… Continue reading How Books Improved My Mood
