• One of my biggest regrets of the year is that I haven’t gotten to go to the movies as much as I would’ve liked. Granted, there weren’t many movies I wanted to see, but I usually get to the theater at least a couple more times than I did. This year I went to see…

  • Unlike many Star Wars fans, I actually don’t hate the prequels. There’s an almost Shakespearian tragedy about them, knowing this won’t end well for Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan. That’s not to say the writing is up to par with Shakespeare, but the idea is. And, truthfully, there’s a lot of good in them if one…

  • Hosted by the Top 5 Wednesday Goodreads Group   Hey, gang! Sorry I haven’t been as active lately. I just haven’t felt like blogging. Maybe that’s blunt, but I figure there’s no reason to not be honest. Today, however, I felt like I could bang out a quick post and it’s Top 5 Wednesday, so…

  • The Four London Book Tag

    On Halloween this year, the collector’s edition of A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab was released. Even though it’s over a week later, I thought I’d do this tag in honor of that release. It poses questions based on each of the Londons in that series: Gray London, Red London, White London, and…

  • Pretty much ever since that infamous night at the 2009 VMAs, Taylor Swift has simultaneously been a media darling and a media villain. As time has worn on, however, articles have been leaning more and more towards the latter. And, for about as much time, I haven’t blamed them. Taylor has always tended towards the…
