Rejected from the Meowski
Rejected from the Meowski
A small excerpt of a story I am currently writing….
It happened I was getting into town late one night, the bus dropped me close by, and I was looking forward to resting my aching paws, when the Meowski finally appeared in my vision though I saw no vacancies. I thought I’d ask anyway. I knocked and waited, it had started to rain and I was eager to get out of the downpour. They took their…

A Review of Little Women, and the Belittling of Women
How can you enjoy Christmas with the illness of Beth looming over you?
This is what I’m thinking as I rewatch Greta Gerwig’s Little Women for the second time. I already regret it as the movie begins in the oddest of places, in an office with a cranky old man who edits Josephine’s work right in front of her. I can’t imagine a less interesting place to start or a more humiliating place for the…

The Millennial Conundrum, the Generation who Discovered Economic Inequality and had Nearly Everything Blamed on Them
The Millennial Conundrum, the Generation who Discovered Economic Inequality and had Nearly Everything Blamed on Them
It has long been overstated and sold to us that the Millennial generation is the ones to blame for nearly all of the economic hardships that plague the average American. Along with being the butt of numerous vices, it has been circulated that we have a hard time staying at one job for longer than average. While there have been countless studies on my generation most all are negative and I wish to…

New Year's Bookish Resolutions
New Year’s Bookish Resolutions
Hello Bookish Friends!
This is a sort of late New Years post but I hope everyone had a splendid holiday. I am definitely feeling the holiday blues a little bit, and in the week before school I am definitely feeling the slog of life coming back in full force.
It’s tough coming back from a vacation and the holiday season all in one short period of time. At least I have books to cheer me! This year…

Once a Reader, Always a Reader
Once a Reader, Always a Reader
There’s always a bit of trepidation is always involved in choosing a reading goal. Its something that can either motivate you or discourage you. I think for me its a challenge, pushing myself to read more and seeing how much I can naturally read without getting burnt out and smothering myself with words.
My reading goal is 175 this year and it seems like a lot but I didn’t know how to top myself…

The Downstairs Girl- Stacey Lee
The Downstairs Girl- Stacey Lee
This book sheds so much light on life when you are different in the deep south. At a time where racism and classicism is still among hardened minds. This story pushes us to rethink how we classify each other.
This story explores the world of the Chinese who were brought over to work in place of the African American slaves who were freed after the war. Although they were paid, they were little more…

The Memory Police - A Review
The Memory Police – A Review
This book is an incredible work of art. I loved everything about this book. The vague and yet specific way it captured this world was beautiful and the prose was simply gorgeous and carried itself in a steady pace. Almost wandering about an issue and never really saying why things are like they are but the sense of acceptance here, follows. I just love the way the prose carries itself.…

The Right Swipe - A Review
The Right Swipe – A Review
What can you say about a nearly perfect book? I enjoyed this book so immensely, I read it slowly just so it wouldn’t end! I loved this unique cast of characters and the relationships that go through the fire and come out stronger. This is the unique blend of romance, and one woman’s story that becomes a movement. Saying that we are stronger than our abusers, and those who seek to harm and use.
I…

Ayesha at Last - Uzma Jalaluddin
Ayesha at Last – Uzma Jalaluddin
Ayesha at Last is a brilliant novel about the importance of finding your place, the importance of family. And of identity and being true to yourself, even if one else is being true. This book lights its own spark and takes you to places that you never would have seen otherwise. This is a beautiful loose retelling of Pride and Prejudice. The same prejudices that guard us against others are also…
