The Lord of the Rings | Comfort in the Cold

With Christmas being right around the corner and the weather getting mighty cold, I am reminded of things that give me comfort and things that I am grateful for. Ranking very high on this list though, is J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings stories. I say stories because I am grateful for them

Story, Characters, Plot, Worlds

Two of my favorite series are Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. Actually. Scratch that. As much as I’ve read and loved some others books/series, these two are unhesitatingly my favorites. They are stories I continue to come back to and read over and over again for different reasons. I’ve had quite a

The Lord of the Rings: A Story of Sacrifice & Bravery

I am a person who acknowledges that there is great evil in this world. I am a person who realizes that terrible things happen, terrible people exist, and it’s frightening sometimes.

The Chasm’s Depths (4) April Edition

It’s time to start voting on next month’s TBR pile. Once again, I’ve chosen three books from my 2015 musts pile for y’all to pick from. They also happen to be the last three one my list. These are books that I meant to read last year but didn’t get to. Whatever you choose, I’ll

3 Tips to Help You Finish Your Novel

I have a plethora of unfinished novels. I’m pretty sure I’m going to go back and finish most, if not all of them at some point; but I’ve noticed that there’s a distinct difference between the process I followed for the novels I’ve completed, and the ones that remain unfinished. I didn’t always think this

2014 Releases I Must Read in 2015

There were quite a few novels that released last year that I didn’t get to read because of…things. I keep going over which novels are on that list of must-tos and decided that I’d share them because I’m positive that y’all have a list yourself, even if you don’t realize it. The Kiss of Deception:
