         Click the cover art above to find out more details about why the artist, Michael Whelan, ultimately decided upon this cover for the final “Wheel of Time” book, written by the highly talented Brandon Sanderson.

“Warm Bodies” Review:                              For the last few years, zombies have been occupying movie trailers and they have always been relegated to the category of uninteresting, brainless, and worthy of remorseless violence. Typically, zombies serve the role of being easy targets for…

  Until May 3rd, I’m going to be frantically busy because I’ll be trying to  finishing all my college assignments in time. That has been the trend for my entire semester, and it’s one of the reasons that this blog has been updated infrequently. I’m aware that I made a calendar approximately two months ago…
