Update: Taking Time Off

Hey everyone. I've been away for a while and I'm going to be away for a while longer. I kept telling myself over the last couple weeks that I was going to be okay to keep going but I can tell now that I'm not going to be able to do it.
I have been on some serious medication for anxiety that makes me sleep up to 18 hours a day. Because of that I haven't been able to read, work, do school work, or anything else. Finally I decided that I had enough and I couldn't take it anymore so I've stopped taking the meds. Of course that comes with some withdrawal symptoms that I feel like are actually killing me.
Right now I can't move from the couch except to get to the bathroom or to the bedroom at night. No pain killers are working to stop the pain so I'm going to have to tough it out. Looking at my computer or my phone or a TV screen makes me sick. Even writing this is taking me far longer than I would like it to.
In a week my parents are taking me on a cruise in the South with the hopes that some time away will help me get back to 'normal'. I'm looking forward to it but at this time I don't know how I am going to be ready in time to leave on Thursday with how much work I have to do and how much I can't do with how sick I am.
The reason I'm telling you all of this is because for the next couple weeks I won't be posting any reviews. Until I can get my body back to normal I'm not going to have any time to read. I will be taking my books with me on the cruise but I see more sleeping in my future than reading at this time. But who knows.
I'm really sorry that I'm not able to post at the moment. For about five years (give or take) I've been posting reviews and it pains me that this problem is affecting me the way it is. Hopefully I can get this thing under control as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience and I hope to be back to it soon.

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

The World Below by Mike Phillips

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
