5 out of 5 stars. Oh, where to begin with this review without spiraling into a gush-fest?

If you trust the Mayans, than you think this year is the year to end all years…quite literally. I don’t put too much stock into that stuff, but then again, I’m not SO confident that I’ll knock it down. Let’s just say I really HOPE it’s not the year of the apocalypse. THAT SAID, I’ve […]
HAPPY 2012! Welcome to the year of the Apocalypse! Or Apocalypsies, if you take a brighter view of the future… I survived Las Vegas (as evidenced by the photo to the right) and had an AMAZING time. I got to hang out with my writing Soul Twin, Sarah J. Maas, and my favorite critique partner, […]
