Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone enjoyed spending time with their family. The holidays can tend to be difficult especially on the family level. Personally, my holidays tend to be filled with drama, so if you try to avoid everyone and everything, I completely understand. I am thankful that I have come to the realization that … Continue reading Turkey Coma

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski: A Book Review Genre: Horror/ Suspense This was not an easy read. Half the time I was clawing my hair out.

Started 6.21: Ended 9.23 So this book took FOREVER to finish! Honestly, at times, I thought that it would never end and just do a continuous loop (which I'm sure if you truly got into the book that is what would happen). Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) I was not … Continue reading Finally Finished!
