For these discussion posts, I decided that the best option was to completely eliminate the Live Twitter aspect of it. I have trouble tweeting, while watching television shows.

Philosophical Sunday: Is a new-group thinking culture rising on the internet?
Caution: This is my uncensored mess of philosophical thoughts! Tread lightly! One of the more insidious results of living in the shadows of socialism is that our culture has inadvertently adopted tons of strange psychological neuroses from Socialistic thought (especially the more radicalized type of totalitarian socialism that is how most socialism, by default, becomes) With the…
Good, Feminist Book Covers
It is only fair that I display awesome examples of book covers that exemplify the strength of a female character, rather than her vain beauty/sexed-up flair(something antithetical to the character at the heart of the story). The best covers are gender-neutral covers for stories that could be read by either gender. Here are my favorite…

Hollow City: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Book 2 (Quirk Books) Barnes and Nobles (Nook)/ Amazon (Kindle)/ Kobo Review: Due to certain valid preconceptions about the state of modern Young-Adult fiction, many readers will hesitantly read over the book’s premise for any tell-tale signs of the dreaded love-triangle trope.

Tuesday blog news:Announcement about “Once Upon a Time” Discussion Posts
A Note about Vlogs Many bloggers are jumping from the blogging ship,and jumping atop the Vlog transport. For newbies, Vlogs are essentially “video-blogs,” where bloggers film themselves doing a video style of a blog rather than a typed out form. I am not photogenic, and I have a weird phobia of seeing myself on camera….
