    Travel | Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Orlando

    I visited Universal Studios during a trip to Orlando at the end of October/beginning of November. As I was visiting Walt Disney World in said trip, it seemed rude not to pop by Universal and check out what they had on offer too. Now, I have to start this post by admitting that I am…

  • December TBR

    December TBR

    If you read my post yesterday, you’ve probably gathered that December tends to be a stressful reading month if I let it be because I try so desperately to finish up the remaining challenges in my yearly reading goals.

    Discussion | The Pressure of Reading Challenges

    It’s that time of year, folks, when we look back at our very optimistic reading goals for the year and cry a bit about how little of the year is left and how many reading challenges we still have yet to complete. This year, I decided to ditch the overly ambitious goals and just participate…

    Wrap Up | November 2018

    Welcome one, welcome all, to my November Wrap Up. As mentioned in my previous wrap up, I was writing the post from Disney’s Caribbean Beach resort, and the holiday did affect my reading pace quite dramatically.

    NaNoWriMo 2018 | Breaking 30k

    You may have noticed my entire lack of blog posts after Monday of last week and there is one very good reason for this: NaNoWriMo. It turns out that, when I properly give writing a novel a go, it takes up most of my brain energy that I have left after work… and there’s barely…
