I don’t typically go to a show without at least being familiar with one of the tunes. I like to have some idea of what I’m getting myself into before I get to the theatre, because sometimes it requires some mental preparation. Now I wasn’t completely oblivious about Spring Awakening before going but I really [...]

Booking Through Thursday #33 – Worse?
Which is worse?
Finding a book you love and then hating everything else you try by that author, or
Reading a completely disappointing book by an author that you love?
I must say I’m truly stumped on this one. It’s probably because I’m way to judgmental when it comes to reading. So, if I love a book a [...]

Tough Decision
I seem to be having a difficult time deciding on a theme for my blog. So, I want to take a moment to apologise for the ever changing themes. I find I need to “live” with a theme for a couple days before I know if I like it or not. There are some great [...]

In the mean time it’s been difficult to get any reading done. Reading and headaches just don’t seem to go well together, in case [...]

Book Binge
Recently I’ve been rather under the weather and because of my illness I’ve been unable to do much reading, that’s what happens when you have a constant headache. So, after my massage yesterday I made a pit stop to The Book Vault (my friendly neighbourhood book shop) to find some graphic novels.
