Book Review: Skyward By Brandon Sanderson
Star Rating: 5 Stars Those who know me may not realise this, but I do not read sci-fi that often. Fantasy has always been my bread and butter: give me magic, mayhem and monsters anyday! It had been a while since I had picked up a space related escapade and with Skyward, I am so glad that I did. Brandon Sanderson, from what I’ve heard, is a staple in the sci-fi and fantasy genre.

So, it’s World Diabetes Day today and it’s almost two months to the day since I was diagnosed with Type 1. Like I said in my previous post about the worst three days of my life, I’m still processing and still dealing with everything that’s going on, attempting to understand why my blood sugar acts in the way that it does.
