Thoughts on Oathbringer (Stormlight Archive Book 3) by Brandon Sanderson

For a 1200+ page book, surprisingly I don’t have much to say. This book was bad. Really bad. It’s actually shocking how bad it was, given how much I loved The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. I loved those first two books so much that even though I was bored to death at

why bother with History and how History and fiction are both interconnected

I was watching a lecture recently on YouTube, and the lecturer briefly talked about why we even bother to study History and why it was actually important, and this got me thinking because all my life I have been endlessly transfixed by history. To me, studying history always seemed as if I were poking at

on writing, volunteering, and conquering oathbringer

I’ve been exhausted lately. But a good kind of exhausted. I think. I’ve been pushing myself to get done as much as I can in a day, and while that has been incredibly fulfilling, I find myself teetering on the edge of overworking myself to death and just about finding the correct balance. I know

Thoughts on Carl Rogers ‘On Becoming a Person’

I decided to read this book on a whim. I first heard of it from a lecture I was watching on Youtube, and I was struck particularly by the title of the book, “On becoming a Person”. What a strange title, I thought. I really liked it. It resonated with me and was in line

Thoughts on Pride and Prejudice

I think I had high expectations going into Pride & Prejudice. It’s considered to be one of the best novels in the world, and the fact that it has managed to stay around for so long while maintaining a cult following has made me think that there is something exceptional in this book that has

Thoughts on Wuthering Heights

Man, this book was depressing. Really depressing. And it was completely nothing like I expected it was going to be. I wasn’t quite sure what I expected, but I think it was something along the lines of a great, tragic love story, and while this story was most definitely great and tragic, I don’t think

Some observations about Cassie’s writing style

So I just finished Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. It’s officially my second time reading it, though I have flipped through this book (and the rest of the Infernal Devices series) during my youth more times than I can count. I don’t know if I have ever felt so comforted by a series. I remember

Review: Crime and Punishment

Ah, Crime and Punishment…I’ve put off writing a review for this novel for some time now because this is a beast of a book to tackle. Fyodor Dostoevsky puts forward so many brilliant ideas that I don’t think I would be able to cover them all, but I will try to cover some of the

Review: A Tale of Two Cities

I just finished A Tale of Two Cities yesterday and I absolutely adored it. It broke my heart into little, tiny, micro pieces, but I just adored it. That ending has to be one of the best endings I’ve ever read! But I’m getting ahead of myself, so let me start from the beginning. The
