I know I've said in a previous book review that I dislike giving reviews unless I've read the whole book, for better or for worse. And I tried. I really really tried, y'all. The Guild of the Wizards of Waterfire by Iain Reading is about a guild of wizards called Elementals, humans who can control the four … Continue reading The Guild of the Wizards of Waterfire Review – ★☆☆☆☆

New Domain Name!
As some of you may have noticed, I've just bought my own domain name! I've dropped the "writes" and now it's magdalynann.com! If you use the old domain address, it'll automatically bounce you over here, so no worries on that front! I'm so excited, it's another step I'm taking to making a better presence as … Continue reading New Domain Name!
Wind Catcher Review – ★★☆☆☆
I read Wind Catcher by Jeff Altabef and Erynn Altabeff for free in exchange for an honest review at netgalley.com Spoilers below the cut! I was very excited to start this book; the main character, Juliet Stone, is Native American and is caught up in a strange series of events and learns she has special powers. … Continue reading Wind Catcher Review – ★★☆☆☆
Chameleon Moon Review – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Before I get into my (hugely delayed) review of Chameleon Moon by RoAnna Sylver I have to talk about how I found this book first. I'm a big fan of tumblr, specifically, I enjoy wasting time on tumblr. It's a great source of procrastination. Sometime in early 2014 or late 2013, I saw a post go … Continue reading Chameleon Moon Review – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Watson’s A Woman?
I posted this for a class assignment last semester, and I still think it's pretty relevant! Maybe I should start watching Elementary again...
Eon Review – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
There are few books that I hold in high enough regard to give them a five star rating. The only other book I've ever done that for is Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I had a lot of trepidation going into this book, but I came out of it feeling like a kid again; like I had … Continue reading Eon Review – 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Some New Photos
This semester, I'm enrolled in a handful of photography classes, a Photography I and a Photojournalism class. I've got a few of my favorite shots, either those I submitted for a grade or not, to show you. Special thanks to my roommates, Becky Teller, Jessie McCormick and Kelly Lynch for modelling. Extra special thanks to … Continue reading Some New Photos
