Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's about to take his first-ever trip to … Continue reading darius the great is not okay review

As much as I love new releases (the hype! being one of the first to talk about a particular book! the discussions!), I would also like to read some of the books released in 2018 that I didn't get around to last year.
