Book Razzies: The Worst Books of 2020 Awards
Welcome to the first annual Book Razzies! The Razzies are an annual award show for the worst movies of the year. I’m adopting that model to share my worst books of 2020 with you! I got this idea after seeing several creators, including Gerry of The Book Nook UK, do something similar last year. I [...]
My Favorite Movies of 2020
It’s time for my last 2020 favorites list! (Don’t worry, I have something fun planned for the best and worst books of 2020!) I haven’t watched too many movies this year, and most of the movies I did see were just okay. Fortunately, there were also a few really good movies. I could see myself [...]
My Favorite TV Shows of 2020
While stuck in quarantine, what was there to do aside from watch all of Netflix? Okay, so I didn’t quite get there, but I did watch some great TV in 2020. This was the year where I said “fuck it” and watched whatever I wanted. By which I mean I watched a lot of kids’ [...]
My Favorite Albums of 2020
It’s time to start posting my year-end lists! To kick things off, I thought I’d share one of my favorite lists to write: my favorite albums of the year! I listened to some fantastic albums in 2020. 2020 was truly a great year for music, if nothing else. On a personal level, I feel like [...]
The Best Books of 2019
Despite reading less books than years past, I would qualify 2019 as my best reading year. It was certainly better than 2018, when I only managed to read about 70 books. I read more books in 2019 by simply reading for quality over quantity. How? Well, good books are easier to finish. And so, I’ve [...]
The Worst & Most Disappointing Books of 2019
In 2019, I decided to read for quality over quantity. Combined with the fact that I’ve started reading more adult books and have gotten better at picking out books I think I’ll like, this has made for a great reading year. Unfortunately, there were still a few stinkers. The good news is there were far [...]
My Favorite Albums of 2019
Hey hey! (Please read that in a Babu Frik voice.) It’s time for the last of my 2019 favorites lists. And I’ve decided to end on one of my greatest loves— music. There’s been a lot of great music this year, so I’ve found a lot of albums to love. Unlike in past years, I’m [...]
My Favorite Movies of 2019
All right, squad! It’s time to continue my year-end lists. Up on the docket today: my favorite movies of 2019. You’ve all heard my strange tale of woe, how I’m terrible at watching movies. I’m watch Film Twitter calls “5 Movies a Year Twitter.” But you know what? I’ve made my piece with that. I [...]
My Favorite Shows of 2019
From cable to streaming, I’ve watched some fantastic shows in 2019. I found some new all-time favorites and enjoyed new content from old favorites. That said, I won’t be including all my favorite shows in this list. If I did, it would be unbearably long and repetitive. Instead, you can find my other favorites on [...]
