New Blog Title!
So, for the past two and a half years my blog has been “Loner Shark”. That was a great name for a while and I associate it with my entrance into the blogging world and the start of this blog, however for some time now that just hasn’t felt like an appropriate title. It was ...

Lonescapade: Perusing Metro-Atlanta’s Japanese Grocery Store
Always on the hunt for Japanese novelty items around Atlanta, I recently discovered Tomato Japanese Food Grocery, via some internet exploration, just outside of the city.

The Hologram Billboards in the new Ghost in the Shell Love or hate the remake, you can’t deny that there are some cool visuals in the live-action Ghost in the Shell.

Thoughts on Disney’s idea of “live-action”
A couple weeks ago I saw Disney’s Beauty and the Beast remake. Emma Watson gave life and breath to Belle and I got to see my favorite songs re-imagined. I genuinely enjoyed the movie. Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses as a book reading, adventure-seeker and I’ve always loved the settings: a quaint village in France ...
Book Review: Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Upon seeing the cover and reading summaries, it came off as YA, but I did some more research and saw the number of awards the book had won, including the 2016 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 2016 Locus Award ...
My “Sky” Themed Dream Loot Crate
I’m stealing this idea from the many other bloggers who have posted their “Dream Loot Crate”. I’ve been receiving the Loot Crate subscription box since January. Loot Crate is geared toward nerdy fandom with different themes every month. I reviewed January’s “Origins” themed crate here. I’ve been enjoying receiving the boxes, it’s like Christmas every ...

Finding Sailor Moon: A Binge-Watching Story
I have recently become a Sailor Moon fan- as in, the past few months. I’m not sure what took me so long to get on board with the series. There are a lot of people in my circle who love- LOVE- Sailor Moon, but I have always had reservations. I guess, I saw the school girl ...
