Shawshank, December 2, 2020December 2, 2020

Just a quick fun thing to do. 3 what’s on a Wednesday! I know I’m a wild and crazy guy! Strap in buckaroo! What are you currently reading? Believe it or not, I’m actually reading 2 books!

What are your quirky reading habits?

Shawshank, December 2, 2020December 2, 2020

Can you only read whilst death metal plays softly in the background? Or does Mars have to be in retrograde? What are your quirky reading habits? I want to know. I don’t think any of my book habits are quirky. When I read, it has to be quiet. Quiet. If the TV is on, I…

Book Review: Midnight Sun

Shawshank, November 25, 2020November 25, 2020

The book I didn’t think I needed to read! It’s not secret that I loved the Twilight Saga (although, I haven’t finished any other Twilight book since I got here), I didn’t think I needed to read a, and let’s be honest, a retelling of Twilight. I was wrong. This book is pretty much all…
