I don't normally talk about movies, but I'm making an exception for this. It's based on a book by Ira Levin, so it's not totally outside of my norm. The story is basically the same, but it was updated for the 21st century. Nicole Kidman plays Joanna, the President of a cable network. She loses... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History by Tori Telfer
I feel like we're all friends now so I can tell you things without you thinking that I'm a danger to those around me. I love serial killers. Not like I admire them or want to be them, but I find them fascinating. How do they commit such grisly crimes? What happened to them that removed... Continue Reading →
Another Sunshine Blogger Award!
This is going to sound really bad, but I love winning awards. Partly because I like the accolades and partly because I like seeing the questions other bloggers ask. The Rules The guidelines for this award are straightforward. Thank the blogger(s) that nominated you in the post and link back to their blog Answer the... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Growing Up Fisher: Musings, Memories and Misadventures by Joely Fisher
I'm not even sure where to start with this one. So, I'm a massive Star Wars fan. I love Princess Leia. She's the only person in the whole damn series who can hit anything with a blaster. I also love Carrie Fisher, even outside of Star Wars. She was a brilliantly funny writer and comedian,... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
This book is why I wanted to address the whole YA fiction thing. I've read a few other books by this author, Anna Dressed in Blood and Antigoddess, so I kind of knew what to expect from the writing. I was not prepared for the content. This series is about a matriarchal society living on... Continue Reading →
In defense reading YA fiction as a grown ass woman
You can probably tell by the title of this post that I enjoy some YA fiction. And I am, in fact, a grown ass woman. Many of my fellow bibliophiles cast aspersion on YA fiction; I mean really, the stuff is for teenagers. It says so right there in the name of the genre. As... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Deliver Us From Evil by Ralph Sarchie and Lisa Collier Cool
I picked this book up at Haslam's in St. Petersburg, Florida, one of the biggest and coolest bookstores I've ever seen in my life. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer size of this place that I didn't take any photos, but trust me, it's amazing. Supposedly it's also haunted, but that's another story. Unfortunately...

What am I reading? The Liberal Redneck Manifesto: Draggin’ Dixie Outta the Dark by Trae Crowder, Corey Ryan Forrester and Drew Morgan
Disclaimer: This post is about a book, not the politics discussed in the book. Full disclosure: I didn't read this book. I listened to it on audiobook with my Scribd membership. I think there's a review of this service coming soon, but for now, just know that I love it. If you're not familiar with Trae... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls (and Everything in Between) by Lauren Graham
I'm not ashamed to admit that Gilmore Girls is one of my favorite shows in the history of ever, and every time I get sad or need comfort I watch it. I have my favorite episodes and at this point can almost recite the entire original series. Again, not ashamed. I'm not even sure why... Continue Reading →
Do you believe in ghosts?
Once again I know I'm coming at you out of left field, but this is something I've spent a lot of time thinking about. Not just recently but for my entire life. I can remember being little, not more than 6 or 7, and bringing home a book from the school library called Wait Till Helen Comes about a... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick
I don't really know why I decided to read this book. Anna Kendrick is cool and whatever, but I'm not really into reading celebrity biographies. Especially when that celebrity is relatively young and has only done a handful of stuff. It's not that I'm dismissing Anna's accomplishments; she's been acting for most of her life... Continue Reading →
Let’s talk about: Caitlin Doughty and death
I know this is coming out of left field but stay with me. Caitlin Doughty is one of my favorite YouTubers. Her channel is called Ask a Mortician, which makes sense because she's a licensed mortician and runs a funeral home in Los Angeles. She's also an author, a public speaker, a death educator and... Continue Reading →
What am I reading? The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made by Greg Sestero
Oh, look, another bonus post! This one is a little more lighthearted than last night's. I'm a little bit obsessed with this book. And yes, this is the basis for the James Franco movie that's currently nominated/winning awards like whoa. If you haven't heard of or seen The Room, you need to. It's amazing in... Continue Reading →
Favorite books of 2017
I haven't read as much as I would have liked this year and fell short of my Goodreads goal by... well, a lot. I've just had a ton of stuff going on, but I've still managed to read some great stuff. Also, if you'd like to be my friend on Goodreads, feel free to send... Continue Reading →
Favorite Christmas books
So this post is going to go off on a tangent for a minute. Stay with me. I don't like a lot of sentimental crap. I'm not into rom-coms really, and I don't like romance novels. I don't know why I'm not into this stuff, but it actually annoys me. I find myself being like... Continue Reading →
