Review: Fic - Anne Jamison - November 2013

One of my favourite book publishing companies is SmartPop . They explore TV Shows, Book Phenomenons etc and give them a philosophical looksie at the book, Tv Show or Movie. One of the recent ones I read was Fic . This was a collection of essays exploring the art of Fan-Fiction starting way back when with fan-fiction tales of Spock and Star-Trek and I did learn Spock's blood type was in fact T-Negative. Then it moved on to Sherlock Holmes which of course is one of the largest fan-fiction based enterprise with hundreds of stories spun from Sherlock and of course Movies and TV Shows. To Modern day Fan-Fiction which of course included the number #1 book that has set off the Fan-Fiction bells and started a trend in publishers and authors releasing Erotic fiction - you know the book I am talking about - It's Fifty Shades of Grey. One of the world's most talked about books. This was originally written as a fan-fiction of Stephenie Meyer's book series "Twilight" and then E.L James took it a further level by adding BDSM and making the content R18 and wham, bam she has a book outselling JK Rowling and making it's ways to all the corners of the world. I found this book to be an interesting and in-depth read as currently I have discovered the Kindle Worlds Stories, which are all fan-fiction based on favourite books and TV Series like Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries and Veronica Mars. 
If you are looking for a non-fiction to get those brain muscles pumping and learning something, then check out Fic by Anne Jamison. 
 To finish off here is a quote that was in the book about Fan-Fiction and kudos goes out to all those who can guess which book it's using.
"Fan Fiction is the madwoman in the mainstream cultures attic but the attic won't be able to contain it forever".

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
