The literary musings and rantings of a Tolkien fan, combined with occasional decorating and fanfiction nuttiness, as well as being a writer for the Femnista webzine.
About Me
Carissa Horton
I am a Christian, a beginning knitter, an intermediate crocheter, a hoop
dancer, an introvert, an avid reader and library employee, a big sister, a lover
of classic movies, a lover of classic books, a shopper at Christopher and Banks,
a fan of all things Disney, and a dreamer.
I picked this book up this morning and finally set it down before heading to work tonight, having finished the whole thing in a matter of hours. It's one of those stories where you just can't stop reading because you're terrified of what...
There are exemplary Christian historic romances and there are rotten ones. Blue Moon Promise falls somewhere in between. While Colleen Coble does not have the power to move her readers like Karen Witemeyer, she still develops likeable he...
Not the best or most accurate depiction of what actually occurred on the Titanic and lags dreadfully in the middling to end with a stronger finish than I expected. The book could have been much better and I wish it had been.
We're back with Thomas again, and just when the Gladers thought they were safe, it turns out, well, not so much. Now, the surviving Gladers must wend their way through 100 miles of scorching hot desert to a safe haven where they will be ...
This book is the 1st in The Maze Runner series by James Dashner. I picked it because I'm starving for dystopian teen literature from a boy's perspective. And while the storyline is intriguing, the book itself is so repetitive and poorly ...
Most of my readers find me through Charity's Place anyway, but just in case someone wanders through who's never been there, this is a fun webzine run by the admin for Charity's Place. I write for it regularly and this particular issue is just chock full of goodies in the shape of our favorite sleuths.
My article contains the delectable Aidan Gillen in his sadly short-lived role in Identity, which I thought was just brilliant. As usual, all of the writing by these talented young women is brilliant, and you simply must not skip the delectable articles on both Murder Rooms, written by the admin herself, and one on the genius of the BBC series, Sherlock, both of which, as it happens, pay homage to the greatness that was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Hmm, could I be a fan?
The next issue is due out on February 1st and I will then post a link to share. Enjoy!
