Kokushinsan: Shadow of the Mountain Prologue - Childhood
Below the sharp, snow-covered peaks, an ocean of golden barely bent and ripples traveled among the fields. A dusty veil helped make those labyrinths of rock, ice, and snow seem a distant world. Up in the thin air of the Himalayan mountains, work was tedious and the yield was difficult, but at times like these, it was a better life, even in the shadow of Kokushinsan.

Imajica is a fantasy set across a universe of five connected dimensions one of which is our planet Earth. It is my favourite book and I never want it to end, so I have it on Kindle and restart it when I finish. Majic, Fantasy, Sex, Love, It has everything.

I never thought the concept of being happy and sad simultaneously would be so okay. Chbosky gracefully captures the innocence of teenage-hood, the complexities of relationships, and the pressures of a perceived-judgemental society.
Oneg In The ArcticPublished 10 months ago in CritiqueSleeping Beauties by Owen and Stephen King
I used to be a major Stephen King fan, but this book destroyed any enjoyment his work gave me. It is dull and drawn out way too long for no more of a plot than it has. Plus, the actions of the people are unbelievable. I don’t recommend this book.

Dracula
Genre-defining epistolary gothic novel that has been grossly misunderstood and bastardised repeatedly through various terrible to subpar to okay film and TV adaptions. It is not a romance novel; it is a horror novel about a greedy, bloodlust-driven monstrous vampire who is unapologetically evil. Avoid the films, read the book.
