Zadie McGrath – Zealot
In every book I’ve been obsessed with, I find myself drawn to that one insane side character whose purpose we never quite know. You know, the one who doesn’t have many lines, but each one seems like the writer was struck with sudden inspiration. So, I decided to expand on one such character’s story from […]
Tasha Leung- Breathe In That Juicy Immortality
Many people think that the military is very interesting. Some people have stubborn opinions about the history and ethics of military groups. Some people don’t care about wars, soldiers, or any of that sort of stuff in the least. Some people decide, hey, let’s write a book about it. Breathe In That Juicy Immortality is a […]
A Comedian’s Guide to Being Funny: ¿El Fin? The End?
After many ripped pages and invasive infiltrations, the Literacy Professors of Latin (or the Book Gods as I call them) decided that they would handle me their own way, especially after tarnishing one of their most elaborate pieces and disrespecting the security of The Jugular. You wouldn’t think a group of people called the Book […]
A Comedian’s Guide to Being Funny : Uber Rides, More Pages and Playing on Words

Duck. Tape. Bada-bump.) This eventually led to […]
A Comedian’s Guide to Being Funny: Broken Ankles, Capes, and Somersaults
[A series of siren sounds is heard throughout the following account.] After countless days of training, I have finally been able to somersault my way into the depths of The Jugular, a secret compound for comedic heroes and a holy destination for anyone searching for forbidden books, transcripts, or scrolls about humor. Entry was gained despite […]
BookME: By Myself (Chapter 7)
My first day of school finally ends. I yawn as I open my locker. Going to every class was pretty much the same. While the teacher wasn’t there, people talked loudly, laughing and giggling about little things. Once they saw me, they went silent and whispered behind my back. Of course I just shook it […]
BookME: By Myself (Chapter 6)
“Are you sure you want to go to school already?” I stuff my notebooks into my backpack. “Yeah, don’t worry about me,” I tell my brother. “Education is free here, right? I should take advantage of it.” Henry frowns. “You just came from the hospital though.” He pats my back. “Are you sure that you’re […]
