Fruit Loot

I’ve never been much of a fruit person, more like a vegetable person, which is handy for being a Vegetarian really.. But after landing a job at a health and wellness site I figured a love of fruit should come with the territory! After having trouble figuring out a good snacking alternative to three chocolate [...]

Finally…

I cracked the secret message in ‘The Tenth Circle’. The book contains some comic book drawings by Dark Horse Comics employee Dustin Weaver (check him out, he’s ace). Hidden in the panels of the comic drawings were letters that spell out a quotation that sums up the theme of the novel, 86 letters in total. [...]

It's Snow Joke…

Thank god for Jodi Picoult. At last, a female author who researches to the core of her novels and teaches me things i didn’t know!
I’m reading ‘The Tenth Circle’, which is the most recent of her collection, and it’s full of topics that make me want to read further into them. Dante’s Inferno, for example, [...]
