The Writer's LibraryI am a literature geek working toward my Bachelor's in English with a concentration in writing. I love to read, and I'm always itching to write, especially creatively. I started "The Writer's Library" about three years ago, previously working with a Blogger platform before moving over to Wordpress. While I mainly post reviews of books, occasionally I will go ahead and review works in other media forms as well, such as music and certain television shows. No matter what I'm doing on here, I love to share with anyone who is willing to listen, and I'm excited to finally be on Wordpress!
I’m reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man for my senior seminar class right now and I’m trying so hard to relate it to the other things we’ve read so far. The main character, Stephen, has a strange way of looking at things despite being so young (sixteen and younger in the […]

There’s a morning chill in the air as I walk briskly through the snow. The faint light of dawn is just over the hills of the horizon as the aurora fades from the sky. Last night was difficult. I’d witnessed a fallen angel upon the snow-laden ground and taken his pulse only to find none. […]
I’m three years too late? Don’t care – I’m doing this anyway! I’ve been on a Death Note kick lately, so might as well cover this. So, I just finished watching Netflix’s Death Note for the second time. Now that I have my notes in order, I can at least attempt to talk about this movie, hopefully with as […]

Death Note (2006) Review (Part I) Surprise Sunday Update! Happy Thanksgiving! Okay, I need to confess something: I actually really like this duology.
Review: Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield My rating: 4 of 5 stars “The other drinkers lingered. Storytelling of the usual kind was over for the night – who would stop to tell a story when one was actually happening? – and so they refilled their tankards and glasses, relit their pipes, and settled on their […]
Review: Death Note (manga) by Tsugumi Ohba. Illustrated by Takeshi Obata. My rating of the series: Five out of five stars. “Finally a chance to Find a little justice. There’s nowhere to run to once the name is penned. Take what fortune grants you, Use it while you’ve got it. Once you have begun, you […]
Paper Mario: The Origami King My rating: 9/10 stars “I am no longer your brother Olly. I am KING OLLY! By the time I am done, all of those miserable Toads will be folded… The flimsy paper minions of Bowser reborn as loyal Folded Soldiers – serving me! And I shall fold, crease, and bend […]
Dogs: Hellbound by S.M. Griffith My rating: 4 of 5 stars “I think my brain had to catch up with the rest of me. When it did, that was when I finally snapped out of it. When a thought finally broke through the numbness I was feeling, hitting me like a ton of bricks and, […]
