K's Book Review

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a good Monday. For the longest time I have had this book sitting on my shelf, too intimidated to read it. Many of you may know how much I love David Wong and his book series John Dies at the End, which I wrote 5 star reviews for every book. This isn't from that series but has the same sort of humour. I finally picked the book up again to read in between classes. What started out as just reading a few pages while waiting for the prof to finally show up turned into secretly reading under my desk instead of paying attention to lectures. I finished the book in two days but it took about 12 hours total to read. Where I can normally skim read a book in a couple of hours I couldn't skim a page without missing something incredibly funny. But all the time spent reading was well worth it. Let me tell you a bit about it: Zoey Ashe lives in a trailer park with her mother and cat Stench Machine. She isn't your typical hero of the future. In...

Hey everyone, hope you are having a good Monday. This week I went back to school and on the first day decided to hit up the bookstore to see what kind of books they had on sale. They didn't have anything in their cheap books yet but they did have a sale on hardcovers. On top of that, the football team won a game so there was a bonus 20% off everything in store. So with that knowledge I took another look at the books. This one was the last one on the shelf and needless to say I was very taken by the cover. I bought it and started reading it before one of my classes. This was a mistake because I instantly fell in love with it. A few Mediation lessons later I was rushing home so I could read more of this amazing book. So now that I've set up my love for this book, let me tell you a bit about it: Based off the website started by the author What If? explores the stupid questions asked by every day people, answered by a scientist who worked for NASA. But don't let his prof...

Hey everyone. Last week I decided, since I am flat out of books on my shelf, that I would pull up my Kobo app on my phone and get a book. This book I am reading, First Grave on the Right, was hilarious so I thought I would try to copy and paste a line to text to my friends when I discovered something amazing! On the Kobo app for your phone you can highlight a phrase and it will format it for you, put the information in a background of your choice, and then you can share it any way you want. Needless to say my friends were relentlessly spammed with quotes for the rest of the day once I figured this out. This isn't supposed to be a long post but I just wanted everyone to know that this was a possibility. From now on if you are reading on your phone give this a try and see if it works for you. It's fun. Have a great day everyone. - K

“So I just shaved half of the dog. I think she wants to look different when she is coming and going. That is one weird dog, David.” – John high on Sauce (this is not a direct quote because my book is out of my reach at the moment but I remember this sentence pretty well) Hey everyone! I hope you are having a good Monday. This week I read John Dies at the End by David Wong. This was recommended to me by my roommate but I was hesitant to read it because it was in the horror section. Often times I try to avoid reading horror books because they freak me out. Boy am I glad that I decided to read this one. I was not prepared for the hilarity and nonsense that the book puts forward. David Wong (the character in the book, not the author) is sitting in a small restaurant waiting for a reporter to come to interview him. When he arrives he prepares to tell him a story that is just as hard to believe as it is impossible. We are taken back to the night it all began. At a gig for their b...

Hey everyone, as promised I am back with a review of Good Omens. I absolutely loved this book! I was excited to read it before I got it online, and when I finished I went out right away to buy the hard copy simply to read it again. There are bonuses to having the hard copy but I will get into that after I do the description. So here we go! Crowley is a demon, or a fallen angel though the book states that he did not so much fall as saunter downwards, who has been given a task. He is to deliver the Anti-Christ to the hospital where he will be placed into the care of an unknowing human to raise until he is ready to bring on the apocalypse. He isn't so keen to this and seeks assistance from his best friend (?) Aziraphale (who we will refer to as Az because it is too hard to pronounce) who is an angel of the gates of heaven. It is an interesting relationship that is just far too funny to hate. They decide together that they must take care of the Anti-Christ and raise him so that...

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you are having a great week so far (half-way there, just hang on!) I have a sort of funny story to share with you all today before I do anything else. So my friends and I usually go out for a 'girl's night' every Thursday evening, but since the new semester started our classes have made it hard to go out to an early dinner until about 8. Now let me explain why this is a bad thing. Me and my two friends are very anti-social. We like to go out to a local sports bar on campus and get burgers and have a drink together before we come back to the dorm. So we normally go early so that we can avoid what they call here on Campus, 'thirsty Thursdays' which is basically when everyone goes to drink. And if there is a game on it gets pretty bad. But it is the best place to go and the other bar is too small for us to enjoy a quiet dinner. So no we had to go later and when we got there they were already getting ready for the night shift. There w...
