Review:
Negan is definitely one of the most interesting characters. He has such a loud personality, yet, he is also not as stupid as we would like to think he is. He has charisma, and a way of knowing how to get what he wants through manipulation. I like how he is able to evoke strong emotions, especially anger, and causes Alpha to react. However, he also does not get killed for being annoying, because he also has merits to him for keeping him alive. In these issues that are leading up to the coming war, it is very interesting to see how the developments from this act of war will transpire.

This again makes me want a beach house. Re-purposing a canoe can be a great way to keep memories alive. It also would be a great place to store books about the sea, travel and adventure.

Welcome to Feature Friday!

I know I used a similar shelving unit a couple weeks ago, but I love how this one can be used on a wall and not necessarily just as a corner piece. It could be a beautiful incorporation to have both of these to tie rooms together for a seamless design.
