Review of Evermore Park Continued: The Lore Season Finale

November 5, 2018 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 3 Comments

On my last review about Evermore Park, I said I wanted to go so bad one last time to finish my tarot card collection.  Dreams do come true!! I was able to get free tickets to the final day of the Lore story line on November 3, 2018 which I'm calling a season finale because ... Read More »

Review of Evermore Park

November 1, 2018 By Jessica Filed Under: My Reading Diary 1 Comment

Evermore Theme Park Utah

There's a new theme park in Utah and it's called Evermore Park.

Nestled among beautiful botanical gardens, visiting explorers will be transported to a place of discovery, imagination and wonder. Evermore ... Read More »

Book Review: The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

Also disturbing ... Read More »

Book Review Star Wars Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far away Aliens Landry Q Walker

I read a bunch of these short stories in 2016, a year after The Force Awakens had come out.  I loved them all and I was excited to find that they were now in a book instead of digital only ebooks.  There are even two bonus stories in Tales From A Galaxy Far, Far Away ... Read More »

Book Review: Stardust by Neil Gaiman

August 2, 2018 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Book Review Stardust Neil Gaiman

Stardust starts with 3 seemingly random tales that combine as time goes on in such interesting and unexpected ways.  My favorite was when the witch's curse comes back to bite her.  How ironic that a curse did some good.  I also loved the familiar fairy tales told in new ways like the lion and the ...
