Just a heads up. I plan to post my first video blog about my current work in progress novel, The Wrath of Borgen. This first installment should give my viewers insight into the inspiration for my story, and the struggles of which I have had to face along the way of these three years of which I have been working on writing the first draft. It will also explain why I am so close to completion, but have not yet managed to cross that threshold.
Please stay tuned, and I hope you all enjoy this little window of insight of which I will open up to share my creative process for my long awaited first novel.

I never thought that an audiobook could be overacted... I was wrong. I would strongly suggest skipping the audiobook and just read the book.

The book itself was interesting. I work at a bookstore so it was fun to open up early and see the excitement that everyone had in getting this book. Personally, I am not a huge fan of this book. It was decent but not amazing.

I would recommend this book to those who want to understand how an editor and a new direction can change a mediocre book to something spectacular. You can definitely tell that this was a first draft & I'm glad that was changed into something beautiful.

Citadels is a great game, if you have friends that move quickly. In that case, you can get a game in in about 45 minutes. If you have a few slow players, the card drafting will result in a lot of downtime and a 2 hour game.

Every round, players draft a new role for that round, which keeps the gameplay fresh. The roles have vastly different playstyles, and there are quite a few of them in the base game.

The game supports 8 people, but I will say that it is best with 4. Once you start adding more players, you end up having more downtime.

As I near the completion of my first draft of The Wrath of Borgen, I have decided to take on the role of Beta reader for a friend of mine who has a current WIP on Wattpad. Since I am planning on seeking the help of Beta readers through that forum, I have decided to check out all the website has to offer.
The name of the book of which I am currently Beta reading is The Shattered Dragonslayer, and the name of my friend, the author, is Danielle Blume. So far, I highly recommend this book for others interested in Beta reading for an excellent fantasy novel with a high potential for success after publication.

After X-Men origins I was worried when this announced as Deadpool had already been muted by Fox. Although after seeing the test footage and reading an early draft of the script I couldn't have been more excited.

This film does a really good job of introducing the character without a straight up origin story. The film is very short but the fast pace keeps you engaged and the jokes keep coming from the first second to the last.

It's one of the best superhero movies outside the MCU and better than some that are in it.
