My hectic life update

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've just been incredibly busy as of late. Where to begin? First, I made a Tumblr account. This is basically where I'll post more of my thoughts and hobbies outside of writing posts, such as making graphics and aesthetics. You can find it here: KDreader02. If …

Analyzing Women’s Strength in Fiction: Emotional Strength in Books

1: Jenny Cavanaugh, Jackaby series: Jenny didn't seem like much early in the Jackaby series. Despite being a ghost, she wasn't as colorful as some of the other characters. But that changed with Ghostly Echoes, which focused on Abigail and Jackaby solving her murder, which had become a cold case. Jenny's main struggle isn't just …

My Fandom Recommendations: Shadowhunter Books

Okay, this one took a long time to do. Webtoons doesn't have the best paranormal department, so I mixed it up with what they do have, and stories with very messy romance. Siren's Lament: This has almost everything a Shadowhunter novel has: a strong female lead, supernatural events and creatures (specifically, Sirens), and a love …

Book Review: Mr. Mercedes

I am back with a book review, heck yes! It's been too long. I finished this book a bit back, but for some reason never wrote a review. Weird. Because of this, my pros and cons will be shorter than usual. Summary: In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, desperate unemployed folks …

Another Celebrating Platonic Affection

Last Valentine's Day, I did a post about some of my favorite fictional friendships. Because, y'know, it doubles as Happy Singles Day. I liked doing that, and so I decided to do another one post Valentines Day. Books: Hodges, Holly, and Jerome: Mr. Mercedes: You would never expect a retired, likely depressed detective, a neurotic …

Thanks to Sam @ River Moose Books for tagging me for this! Did you know I am also a big Marvel fan? Well...I am. Iron Man – a book that made you laugh out loud: Okay. There are a lot of books that make me chuckle here and there, mainly due to surprise sass. But …

Analyzing Women’s Strength in Fiction: Mental Strength in Books

Well, here we are again! I did this series of articles last year, where I took several female characters from fiction and looked over the ways they could be considered "strong". I was able to come up with three types of strengths: physical, emotional, and mental. Even within those three categories, the types of strength …

Mini Reviews: Siege and Storm, The Darkest Corners, and The Last Jedi (Or, Kate really doesn’t know how to make short reviews)

So, you may be wondering why the heck I am making these reviews small, and on why I'm pairing them all together...For that, I thought, eh, why not? Three mini reviews sounds like a good post, right? There are two reasons though. 1. In the case of the books, it's been a while since I've …

The Rest of My End of Year Lists: Book Edition

Well...NOW I'm back! Yes, yes I know I am cutting these lists short, but oh well. I wanted to do these lists. So yeah, I'm finishing these things up pretty fast. If you want some details for what I've done on my break, please go to my post that celebrates my sort of return. This …

Best Book Main Characters of 2017

A reminder on what my lists and challenge is about: As it's December, I have decided to make "best of the year" lists for things I like and am interested in. I will cover books, TV shows, anime, movies, and Webtoons. The challenge part is 100% optional and may not even happen. But the idea …
