It’s currently a rather rainy *bleh* sort of June day—and so the perfect time to do a blog post, obviously! The thing is…when we sat down to write this, neither of us were really in the mood to write something terribly concise and/or witty. So, we decided to enter into a discussion on (what else?)…
Review: Unhooked // Basically a OUAT Fanfic tbh+Psychopathic Peter Pan+DARK FANTASY
“I would give Unhooked 4 out of 5 aces,** for an intoxicating plot, a renamed version of Killian Jones, and being set in Neverland. One ace demoted for the soul-devouring and Olivia.” “Neverland retellings usually just aren’t my thing. Unhooked, however, was so dark and entrancing that I was completely captivated. I left the book…
Sorting Hat Anonymous: Once Upon A Time
Hi, I’m a blogger and I’m addicted to sorting fictional characters. About two and a half billion light years ago, we put up our first Sorting Hat Anonymous Post, and finally–finally!–we’re doing another one.

March Books: Featuring A Rather Caustic Quiz, Three Intoxicating Romances & Our Dog Not Caring AT ALL

But this is hardly a new problem, and so…
Book Discussion: Nineteen Minutes
Recently, Clara and I read both read Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult, and since it was so terribly thought-provoking, we simply had to blog on it!
