Book: The Time Machine
H.G. Wells the father of science fiction? So they say, and I guess from the sheer amount of famous work he has produced, I cannot deny his influence on science fiction. The library I went to recently had a showcase of science fiction and I picked this book up (because it looked thin!). I actually … Continue reading
Anime: Tabisuru Nuigurumi: Traveling Daru
I was browsing through the Crunchyroll site and I came across this gem under the slice of life category. It’s a simple and (almost) wordless short just 10 mins long, but it speaks volumes and is an absolute beauty to watch. It tells the story of a little soft toy who gets left behind … Continue reading
Book: Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox
Remember the last book where there was a dabbling of time travel? Well, this books expounds on that and introduced young readers to the difficult concept of paradox. It’s something that requires a good deal of logic and equal amount of creativity. It’s mind boggling, but really well done and makes for a very interesting … Continue reading

There’s talking animals, that take over the farm chasing away the humans and abolishing slavery as it were. I guess most people are familiar with this book, a satire about … Continue reading

This fifth installment brings back the mastermind and pits him against a … Continue reading
Anime: Itazura Na Kiss
The land of shoujo anime is one that strikes fear into my heart. I used to love it, but that was before I went through a relationship of my own. Now I just roll my eyes and look for josei anime instead. Yet, here I am reviewing a shoujo anime. I would like to just begin … Continue reading

Book: The Hobbit
This is my second reading of the book, and I’m going to try to be as objective as possible; even though I’m a huge fan of Lord of the Rings. They are different books after all, part of the same big story, but vastly different books. The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J.R.R. … Continue reading
