Charlotte – Anime Review
Jacob and I reached a point last month where we couldn’t take Crunchyroll‘s repetitive commercials anymore, so we sprung for a Premium membership. Since then, I’ve been using that as an excuse to fall asleep to the sweet, sweet sounds of anime. My most recent binge has been Charlotte, which I watched primarily because I…

H.P. at YALLfest 2016!
Every November, I make my annual pilgrimage* to Charleston, S.C. for YALLFest, a YA reading festival organized by indie bookshop Blue Bicycle Books. *not as an author. Just as a fangirl. “YA reading festival” does not do this event justice, though. In actuality, it is a 2-day-long flurry of panels and signings and general book…

Berserk (2016, S1) – Anime Review
Sometimes you just want to watch a grimdark drama where everything is a disaster and you can’t do anything about it so why bother? This year’s election coverage should sate that thirst. But if it doesn’t, there’s Berserk. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAkl2uJEuA4&w=560&h=315] Note: I’m about to spoil a whole TV series and three movies and several volumes…

Pokemon Go: Halloween Event – Game Review
I’ve been a Pokemon Go player since day one, but when I first learned of this past weekend’s Halloween event, I was only cautiously excited. After all, for everything Pokemon Go does right, there are ten other features that amount to “could have been awesome but were ruined by stupid problems.” It was a pleasant…

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Vol. 1 – Book Review
After months of curiosity, I finally decided to dip my toe into the light novel waters with Fujino Omori’s Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Volume 1. In the end, it didn’t make a fan of me, but it still made for some fun before-sleep reading. Much of my…

H.P. at the Pugs & Pals Picnic 2016!
I’ve wanted to go to the Pugs & Pals Picnic in Stokesdale, NC for YEARS but never could for various reasons. This year, I finally had my chance, and since I’d written a book starring a pug, I figured why not do a book signing, too? Thus began the day’s adventure. The Pugs & Pals…

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – Book Review
Ok, if you haven’t read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by now, that’s your own fault. Consider this your SPOILER WARNING. (And yes I know I am months behind the rest of the world, but that is what happens when you’re writing a book. 😛 ) In case you need a plot refresher: Harry…

Holo Writing at AWA 2016!
We’re back and recovered from Anime Weekend Atlanta! This year was a little slower than our last year, but apparently election years always are (Thanks, Washington). Still, we had H.P.’s favorite location ever. RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOOD TRUCKS. And that was hardly the best thing about the con! Last AWA, only the first…
