About Liz (AKA Cat)
I am an avid animal lover, photographer, graphic designer, and much more. I love to create art, and am willing to try any artistic technique at least once. I am particularly fond of artworks involving a lot of emotion and color. The purpose of my blog is for me to be open and honest with myself and the world about my attempts to grow as an artist.
My other major passion is reading. My TBR pile is larger than I'll ever be able to read, and yet I can't resist adding to it on a nearly daily basis. I love to read science fiction & fantasy, graphic novels, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on.
I have a couple of blogs, as you can see. One is primarily my photography, while the other are my book reviews.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Apocalypse Five is the first novel in the Archive of the Fives series by Stacey Rourke. If I had to define the novel for you in just a few sentences, I would say that it’s Hunger Games in a science fiction setting, only with a couple major twists thrown into the mix. Continue reading →

I went into Dark of the West with high expectations. Those expectations were possibly higher than was fair, but I am pleased to say that all of them were met. Dark of the West is as beautifully written as the cover may indicate. Inside there’s a whole world built on the intricacy of human interactions and politics. It’s wonderfully done. Continue reading →
