Oh gods I hope it’s almost over. Accessible? If you have limitless time and energy This isn’t a comment on any one chapter. It’s a comment on all of them. He states at the beginning his goal was to make magic more accessible with this book. He did…for able-bodied suburbanites without money issues. In fact …

Review: Supermarket Magic by Michael Furie Warning: this post is going to be long and ranty. EDIT: yeah it’s now 3 posts. SETTLE IN. I really wanted to like this book. Honestly, I don’t know where to begin. I’m starting this review before I finish reading the book because there’s so much to say. I …

The next day Mom and her friend Chris picked me up and I went to go meet Erinnightwalker (and her bf) for the first time in real life. She gave me awesome gifts, because she’s an awesome person (though this should …

Because one challenge certainly isn’t enough. No, I’m doing another one. It has a prize! And while I could technically use the books from the other challenge for this one, I’m not going to — because of suggestions made in the comments of the other list, and I really like pushing myself.
