Review: A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy Lin
**Content warnings for death of a parent, mentions of dying and illness, war, poverty, starvation, beatings, corporal punishment, poison and allusions to torture.** I know the saying is to not judge books by their covers, but this is one where you can definitely make the exception. Now as shallow as that could be (and why…

December 2021 Wrap Up
In true Hedwig fashion, a delayed December wrap up to begin 2022! So December was a warped reading month. Mostly beween work, the usual seasonal prep and uncertainty of a certain Ms. Rona. But also because I wanted to finish on my goal of 100 books this year! Sudden hospital tests last year prevented it…
November Wrap Up

Weekly Pull List (June 16th& June 23rd)
Trying something new today on the blog! I’ve long been a comic book fan and reader. In fact while in college, I pretty much solely read comics for nearly four years. I do also know a lot about comic book history and general story telling from just consuming it solely for many years. It’s no…
Review: Eric by Terry Pratchett
Welcome back to the Discworld Project! We have shorter distances between reviews this time around since I have wanted to throw myself head first into the project this month to make some progress. Today we will be reunited with an old character, learn why teenage boys shouldn’t summon demons and just how much everyone hates…

My Favourite Stephen King Books
Last week I made a post on my Instagram about Stephen King for his 72nd birthday. All of a sudden I realised from looking at my collection that I never talk about him and yet he’s been one of my favourite authors. Everyone has their story for how they first started reading Stephen King. Mine…
