Best Books of January 2016
Well, we’re already a month deep into 2016 and so far so… uh… good? I mean, overlooking that whole David Bowie, Alan Rickman thing… Too soon? Yeah, too soon. To take my mind off all the tragic losses 2016 has thus far slung our way, I dove into my reading list pretty deep. As of today…

Read MoreREVIEW: BINTI by Nnedi Okarafor

For those of you who’ve never read anything from Okorafor, Binti would be a splendid introduction. Published through Tor.com’s novella program, Binti is only about 50…

Aw, how cute. Somebody just carpet bombed all my books on Goodreads with 1 star ratings. An effective strategy for… For what exactly? See, what I can’t figure out is, if you thought the first book was 1 star worthy, why read the next one? And if you thought that one was 1 star worthy as…
Read MoreInner Dialogue: Why You Need to Stop Talking To Yourself (Writing Workshop)
Vocalized or not, we are all just sitting around talking to ourselves. It’s called Inner Dialogue and it’s pretty much how we process…well…everything.
