Hex Series 1 and 2

by Athena // November 30, 2012 // No Comments
My friend recommended this to me because we both love Michael Fassbender. Here is my review of Series 1 and Series 2 of this 2004-2005 British fantasy series. Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Being a Reader

by Athena // November 29, 2012 // 8 Comments
On BTT this week: I was talking to a co-worker the other day about a book I’d read recently, and realized how very, very few people I can do that with. In my daily life, it seems like almost no-one... Continue reading →

The 2013 TBR Pile Challenge

by Athena // November 28, 2012 // 6 Comments
Time for another reading challenge. I’ll be joining Adam of Roof Beam Reader’s 2013 TBR Pile Challenge. Twelve books that I should read for 2013 with two alternates. Books must be published before 2012. I tend to buy a lot... Continue reading →

Lioele Water Drop BB Cream review

by Athena // November 26, 2012 // 2 Comments
After using the Skin79 Gold BB Cream for a couple of months (5 days a week), I had more than the usual amount of breakouts. I wasn’t sure if it was the Skin79, but I decided to switch over to... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: November Reading Block

by Athena // November 25, 2012 // 8 Comments
Hello everyone! Happy belated Thanksgiving to those celebrating it in the US. I really need to wake up earlier, but I was actually a bit productive yesterday as I did some job stuff (did diddly all the rest of the... Continue reading →

Booking Through Thursday – Thankful

by Athena // November 22, 2012 // No Comments
On BTT this week: It’s Thanksgiving here in the U.S., so … what are you thankful for this year, reading-wise? New, favorite books? New gadget for reading? New comfy chair? Bonus time to read? Just the mere fact of BEING... Continue reading →

Soulless Manga, Vol. 1 by Gail Carriger and REM

by Athena // November 19, 2012 // No Comments
As someone who has read and enjoyed The Parasol Protectorate Series and also graphic novels in general, I decided to read this managa to spur my current reader’s block. This is actually a manga rather than a graphic novel. It... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: Lazy and Hopeful

by Athena // November 18, 2012 // 6 Comments
Hello everyone! I’ve been forgetful about the Salon and do them much later than in my mornings. [One hour later] See, it happened again. I become busy doing other things. Since I stopped working, I haven’t been a particularly good... Continue reading →

The Classics Club – November 2012 Meme

by Athena // November 13, 2012 // 4 Comments
The Classics Club November 2012 Meme Question: What classic piece of literature most intimidates you, and why? (Or, are you intimidated by the classics, and why? And has your view changed at all since you joined our club?) Since I... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: Changing Routines

by Athena // November 11, 2012 // 4 Comments
Hello, everyone! It’s Remembrance Day and I hope everyone has taken some time to reflect on that. Out of tradition, I tend to read or recite In Flanders Fields by John McCrae. My review for Gone with the Wind was... Continue reading →

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

by Athena // November 8, 2012 // 6 Comments
This book was epic. Once again, I was conflicted about giving it a 4 or a 5 on Good Reads. As with before, the deciding factor was if I would reread it again. I wouldn’t be against reading it, but... Continue reading →

Sunday Salon: November Blues

by Athena // November 4, 2012 // 6 Comments
Hello everyone! Sadly, I did not read at all this week. Work has been hectic, but it’s my last day this Wednesday. Even though I will miss the income and don’t want to job search, I really need the break... Continue reading →
